Running the test

Before you run the test, complete the test setup as described in the test requirements: Wireless LAN (802.11) Testing Prerequisites.

The test does the following:

  • Connect to the wireless network specified using the created profile.

  • If connection success message is not seen from the driver within six seconds, the test will fail.

  • If there is a connection failure, the test will fail.

  • Wait for 60 seconds for the Windows NLM to return network connected status (this waits for DHCP assignment).

  • Choose a target IPv4 address from either the DHCP server on the network or the default gateway (DHCP server has priority).

  • Send ICMP message to the target IPv4 address and expect success.

  • Connect to port 80 of the target address and expect either a HTTP 401 challenge or HTTP 200 success.

Failure to ping the target address or to connect to port 80 of the target address will result in a test failure.

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting Wireless LAN (802.11) Tests.

Make sure that the following are true:

  • The specified SSID is within range of the device

  • The specified password is correct.

  • The target IP address can be pinged.

  • The target IP address is running a web server.

Most home routers (including routers that are specified in the Windows Hardware Certification Kit (Windows HCK)WLAN setup) will satisfy these requirements.
