Category Test category::Network Sub-category Test subcategory::Access points
Component System component::XS
Feature System feature::
Objective [[Test objective::Find out behavior of laptops trying to connect to the school server with two access points attached. Specifically, whether the laptops switch from one access point to another automatically, and whether they prefer one access point to another.]]
Tools Test tools::None.
Setup Test setup::School server, Ethernet switch, 2 access points, 3 Ethernet cables, 50+ laptops.
Procedure [[Test procedure::Set up two access points, so one will operate on the channel 6, and another on the channel 11.

Connect an Ethernet switch to the school server.

Connect two access points to the Ethernet switch.

Make sure that all laptops have been registered with the school server.

Reboot all laptops.

Wait until laptops connect to the school server. Connect manually those that didn't connect automatically.

Check out for each laptop the channel it connected to the school server, and place yellow sticky notes on them with the channel number.

Leave laptops running.

After 12+ hours, check each laptop to see to what channel it's connected, and whether that channel is different from the original one.

Document the findings.]]
