  • Publication number: 20260100898
    Abstract: An example method for using wireless packets to indicate boot status of a network device is disclosed. The method includes initiating a boot sequence of a network device. The method also includes during at least a portion of the boot sequence, transmitting a first wireless packet comprising data indicating a boot status of the network device, wherein the boot status indicates the network device is booting. The method also includes transmitting a second wireless packet comprising data indicating the boot status of the network device, wherein the boot status indicates the network device has finished booting.

  • Publication number: 20250112648
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for simultaneously operating as a wireless radio and monitoring the local frequency spectrum. For example, described herein are wireless radio devices that use a secondary receiver to monitor frequencies within the operating band and prevent or avoid interferers, including in particular half-IF interferers. The systems, devices, and methods described herein may adjust the intermediate frequency in a superheterodyne receiver to select an intermediate frequency that minimizes interference. In particular, described herein are apparatuses and methods that use a second receiver which is independent of the first receiver and may be connected to the same receiving antenna to monitor the geographically local frequency spectrum and may detect spurious interferers, allowing the primary receiver to adjust the intermediate frequency and avoid spurious interferes.

  • Publication number: 20240224250
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses providing a visual metric of the efficiency of a network of devices communicating through a wireless access point (AP). These apparatuses and methods may also determine and display pseudo-dynamic error vector magnitude (EVM) information for a network of wireless stations, including displaying a pseudo-dynamic constellation diagrams using EVM information. These methods and apparatuses may transmit a plurality of sounding packets from each of one or more radio devices different modulation types (e.g., BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM and 1024 QAM), and receiving at least some of the sounding packets at a second radio device (e.g., an access point) and determining EVM information from the received sounding packets, and displaying (or providing for display) a constellation diagram including pseudo-dynamic EVM information that is a constrained approximation of actual EVM information.

  • Publication number: 20230269203
    Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods to view otherwise hidden connectivity of networking devices. An electronic device such as a network device connected to a variety of different devices, may be observed through a real-time image onto which information about the connectivity and/or connections may be display to show identity, connectivity state and other information associated with ports of the network device(s). These methods may be implemented on a mobile device used to capture images of the network device and present an overlay of virtual objects on the captured images to a user in real time. The virtual objects may dynamically move or change shape in real time depending on the movement of the mobile device. One or more filtering techniques may be used to stabilize the virtual objects with respect to the captured images.
