If using as part of channel planning, measurements are best taken when no SSIDs are active on the AP While this is to be expected, it can still be used as an indicator that a particular AP or channel may have too many clients. When monitoring channel utilization and reviewing the information below, it is important to remember that a busy wireless network will naturally result in higher utilization of channels. If there are none within the selected network, the page will not appear. Only APs (Access Points) with a dedicated WIPS radio will appear on this page. To access this information, navigate to the Monitor > RF spectrum page. This information can be useful when troubleshooting wireless issues or determining which channels to use in high-density environments.
