From the Wi-Fi configuration screen, select the Wi-Fi Test icon to open the network connection test screen. The network connection test is an automated test that begins when the screen is displayed.
Network connection systems are tested in sequence and display a status indicator. Red indicates that the test failed. Green shows that the test completed satisfactorily.
If a connection issue is present, select View Summary to view the results.
The summary information is helpful if you are experiencing difficulties with your connection. Scroll through the summary information to review the test results for each system and Tip messages for the current connection issue.
