 ·  ☕ 1 min read

The debug dot11 <radio_interface> trace print uplink command can be used to see detailed information on what the radio interface is doing while looking for a parent.

The below shows the output from a WGB client AP when it lost its parent AP. We can see each step the client takes to associate to the AP.
