Wi-Fi Analysis App
The Wi-Fi Analysis app scans the wireless channels in your environment to discover and gather data about the devices and traffic on your Wi-Fi networks. Wi-Fi discovery begins when you power on the EtherScope, and measurements update with each channel scan cycle.
The EtherScope nXG supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax technologies. EtherScope can also detect and indicate the 802.11be media type (known as Wi-Fi 7) being used on APs and Clients, as reported in the wireless management frames.
The Wi-Fi app features separate screens that list and display characteristics of the different devices and elements of your wireless environment.

Wi-Fi Analysis and Discovery
Wi-Fi Analysis uses the Wi-Fi Test Port to scan the channels and acquire information about your wireless networks. If the Wi-Fi Test Port is linked (for instance after running a Wi-Fi AutoTest Profile), the port unlinks and resumes scanning when you open the Wi-Fi Analysis app.
When EtherScope links to a network, Discovery can obtain information from network layers 3 and above, such as IP addresses, Protocols, and SNMP data.
Therefore, the information Wi-Fi Analysis is able to display also depends on configured Discovery Settings, such as SNMP Community Strings and Credentials, Active Discovery Ports, Extended Ranges, and Device Health testing.
