WiFi Backup Signals Validation

The WiFi Backup Signals validation step is used to validate the availability and signal strength of backup signals in case the currently associated WiFi signal fails.

Backup signals (secondary coverage) are WiFi signals using the same SSID that are available for immediate connection in case the currently associated signal fails.

To validate that the currently associated signal is indeed part of the intended primary coverage - use WiFi Network Validation.

Step Settings

Backup signal counting:

  • Warn if number of backup signals is lower than X
  • Fail if number of backup signals is lower than X
  • Allow backup signals from same AP: if enabled, consider signals with the same configured AP name to be considered as backup (e.g., 2.4GHz signal as backup to a 6GHz signal); AP names are configurable in the AP tab of the WiFi Networks Screen

For the strongest backup signal:

  • Warn if average RSSI is lower than X
  • Fail if average RSSI is lower than X
