Description

This article describes the issue when the Spectrum Analyzer is enabled on the FortiAP-U profile as a radio 3 dedicated monitor with a default WIDS profile configured but there is no data for the Spectrum Analysis.

Scope FortiAP-U.
Solution

Go to WiFi and Switch Controller -> Managed FortiAPs.

In the table, hover over the AP so the context menu appears and select Diagnostics and Tools.

The summary pane appears.

Select Spectrum Analysis.

As per the current design implementation for FAPU23xF & FAPU43xF only Radio 1 (for 5G) and Radio 2 (for 2.4G) when in Dedicated Monitor mode will support Spectral Analysis scan.

 

R3 in Dedicated-Monitor mode does not support Spectral Analysis scan.

 

See FortiAP 7.6.0 Admin Guide for more information.
