Wi-Fi: distinguish coverage from performance

A Wi-Fi connection can show a strong signal while suffering from interference, radio congestion or problems on the wired network.

Method and good practice

  1. Compare latency and packet loss over Ethernet and Wi-Fi at the same times.
  2. Check channels, channel width, client counts and access point placement.
  3. Check VLANs, DHCP and DNS, then measure roaming between access points.
