Running the test

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

This test performs the following actions:

  • Configure one router, as follows:
    • Router 0 - 2.4Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY G/Channel 6]
    • Router 0 - 5Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY N/Channel 40]
  • Perform a Scan and validate that the router is found
  • Validate that the adapter is reporting itself as AOAC capable and reports the NDIS_WLAN_WAKE_ON_AP_ASSOCIATION_LOST_SUPPORTED capability
  • Create a profile for Router 0 - 2.4 GHz having ConnectionMode configured as manual.
  • Perform a WlanConnect using the profile
  • Configure the AP controller server machine to turn off the Router 0 - 2.4 GHz after 2 minutes 30 seconds
  • Disable other Network Adapters on the Client machine
  • Start monitoring WLAN state and adapter power state events
  • Enter Connected Standby for 5 minutes
  • Enable other Network Adapters on the Client machine
  • Check the WLAN state and adapter power state events to validate that the adapter went to low power and woke up due to AP Association loss as expected
