Abstract
Wireless station experience is monitored by emulating client radios. A radio (or entire transceiver) from a plurality of radios on the access point is assigned to switch from a normal mode to a client mode to operate as a client radio. The client radio of the access point can send a probe request to a normal mode radio of the access point for registration as a client. Network performance can then be measured from the client radio and analyzed by the access point for network problems.
