A transit-hub laptop joins reliably on 5 GHz but fails intermittently on 2.4 GHz for the same municipal SSID name. How should the CWNE structure the capture?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Same SSID, two personalities—give each band its own microphone at the same time. Dual-adapter capture lets you watch 2.4 and 5 GHz join attempts side by side instead of guessing from a hopping blur.
Full Explanation
Band-specific join failures require concurrent visibility into each radio path. Multi-adapter captures time-align 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz exchanges for the same client so analysts can compare Probe/Auth/Assoc/EAP outcomes under identical application load. Scanning a single radio across bands risks missing short-lived failures and confuses correlation. Methodology selection is as important as frame interpretation.
