Non Wi-Fi Interferer Description example a Microwave-like device that does not operate in the known operating frequencies used by the Microwave ovens may be classified as a Generic Interferer. Similarly wide-band interfering devices may be classified as Generic Interferers. Channel Metrics The channel metrics graph displays channel quality, availability and utilization metrics as seen by a spectrum monitor or hybrid AP. You can view the channel utilization data for the percentage of each channel that is currently being used by Wi-Fi devices, and the percentage of each channel being used by non Wi-Fi devices and 802.11 adjacent channel interference (ACI). This chart shows the channel availability, the percentage of each channel that is available for use, or the current relative quality of selected channels in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands. While spectrum monitors can display data for all channels in their selected band, hybrid APs display data for their one monitored channel only. To view this graph, click 2.4 GHz in the Spectrum section of the dashboard. Figure 74 - Channel Metrics for the 2.4 GHz Radio Channel To view this graph, click 5 GHz in the Spectrum section of the dashboard. Figure 75 - Channel Metrics for the 5 GHz Radio Channel Table 16 shows the information displayed in the channel metrics graph.
