Monitoring the Wireless Network
View the Errors section to monitor for congestion. Statistics include:
■ Avg Number of Retries—average number of retries the radio must make to
successfully transmit a packet
A high value (over 10 or 20 percent) may indicate excessive congestion
or interference from another wireless device.
■ % Gave Up Pkts—number of packets that the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module never successfully transmitted to a station associated to this radio
■ % of Undecipherable Pkts—percentage of packets received by this radio
that could not be deciphered
A high percentage might indicate that someone is attempting to guess a
static WEP key or WPA/WPA2 PSK.
The Details screen also allows you to simultaneously compare statistics for
the last 30 seconds and the last hour.
