  • Publication number: 20230066262
    Abstract: An access point may receive, associated with a computer, information that specifies a group of access points in a network, where the group includes the access point, a second access point and/or a third access point, and the group of access points are proximate to each other. Then, the access point may receive, associated with the computer, instructions for testing to conduct with the second access point or the second access point and the third access point, where the testing involves wired communication with the second access point, and wireless communication with the second access point or the third access point. Next, the access point may perform, based at least in part on the instructions, the testing with the second access point or the second access point and the third access point. Moreover, the access point may provide, addressed to the computer, test results associated with the access point.
