the Internet that you specify in the Time Settings screen (see 

on page 19). Each entry on the Logs screen is stamped 

with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:

Date and time shown is Fri Dec 31 00:00:00 1999 or a similar incorrect date and time. 

Cause: The wireless access point has not yet successfully reached the network time 
server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just 
completed configuring the wireless access point, wait at least 5 minutes and check the 
date and time again.

The day is correct or one day ahead or behind, and the hours are ahead or behind. 

Cause: You have selected an incorrect time zone for your area. Specify the correct time 
zone in the basic General system settings screen (see 

on page 19).

Use the Packet Capture Tool

You can capture wireless packets to analyze traffic patterns with a network traffic analyzer 
tool. The captured packet flow can show if traffic is flowing correctly to its destinations or if 
packets are dropped. There is a limit to the size of the packet flow that you can capture in a 
file.



Select Monitoring > Packet Capture. The Packet Capture screen displays:

Click Start to start capturing wireless packets leaving or entering the wireless access point 
on the active operating channel. Packets on the 2.4-GHz interface are captured. Normal 
functioning of the wireless access point is not affected during the packet capture process.

If any previously captured packets exist, you are prompted to delete them, and only then 
can you capture new packets.

Click Stop to stop capturing packets.

Click Save as to save the pacture.pcap file on your computer or to a disk drive.
