testing wireless

Post by MathieuS »

We have some problems with our wireless so we want to test it with a check. The check should be able to connect to our wireless installation and check if the server gets an IP. The problem is that everyone who wants to access the wireless has to login with a username and password.

Is there any check available that can do this?

I don't know any off the top of my head, but I pulled up this search on exchange. Maybe one of these will get you what you need?

Not really. Perhaps a check to see if the localhost gets an IP would be sufficient

Yeah sorry, a custom check is probably your best bet for that then. If you've got someone who's handy with scripting, they're very difficult to write. Here's the developer guidelines if you need them.
