How to scan for interference

Each access point is capable of zero-downtime RF scanning. This means you can check for interference on every AP without interrupting your WiFi by navigating to the Network tab and then clicking or tapping on the AP that should be checked. In its configuration card, you will find the Quick Scan and Full Scan features under the Info tab. 

What The Triangles Mean

In the results, you will first see the list of top 10 interferers found by the scan. The blue triangle next to the signal corresponds to the blue triangle associated with the channel graphic underneath the list. In the example below, you'll see the 5GHz channel 48 with a blue triangle on the left side of the graphic.

  • The purple triangle on the right represents the number of interferers on that channel.
  • The blue triangle on the left represents the signal strength of the top interferer on that channel.

If you need to get a more in depth look at the channel interferers, you can hover over the channel and the details will be in writing at the top of the screen.

If you would like to "pin" that channel's data temporarily, simply click on the channel. To "unpin" that data, click it again or click another channel to pin its data.
