A county campus roam study uses separate analyzers on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. What must be done so the multi-channel captures can be aligned into one accurate roam timeline?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Roam timelines fall apart when one laptop’s clock is three seconds ahead of the other—like comparing race photos from unsynced cameras. Sync the analyzers so both bands share one timeline before you judge roam latency. One-channel-only redesign or tossing Radiotap timestamps just throws away evidence.
Full Explanation
Accurate roam analysis across bands or channels requires synchronized capture clocks (NTP/PTP or equivalent) so association, authentication, and data-path events line up. Unverified local start times introduce skew that can invent false roam durations. Collapsing the design to a single channel is unrelated to correcting multi-capture timing.
