🎁Extra Profiler tasks

Optional

Bonus Step 1 - Profile the 2.4 GHz frequency band

Profiler is only able to capture device capabilities for the frequency band on which you are broadcasting the 'fake AP'. Profiler currently only supports the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands for broadcasting via its "fake AP". As we've profiled on the 5 GHz already, let's try profiling a device on the 2.4 GHz band.

FPMS

  1. Stop Profiler, navigate to Apps > Profiler > Stop

  2. Start Profiler on the 2.4 GHz band, Apps > Profiler > Start on 2.4 GHz

CLI

  1. Stop Profiler with command

    sudo profiler stop

  2. Start Profiler on specific channel (from the other frequency band)

    sudo profiler -c 11

Bonus Step 2 - Profile Additional Devices

Test any and all other devices you have with you to capture and view their capabilities on both frequency bands. Maybe "ask a friend" if they'll try associating with your Profiler SSID to trigger some new profiling events to provide more data to review.

Bonus Step 3 - Share your results

  1. Browse to https://clients.mikealbano.com and look through the list

  2. Check whether any of the devices you profiled just now are absent from the list? If you wish to share your profiled device capabilities:

    1. Click on the menu item β€œHow to Contribute”

    2. Skip to Step 2

    3. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions
