2.16 Performing Pings

An access point sends a ping packet to an MU and waits for a response. Use
pings to evaluate signal strength between two stations. The other station can
exist on any AP interface.

This ping operates at the MAC level and not at the ICMP (Internet Control
Message Protocol)
level.

No pings returned or fewer pings returned than sent can indicate a
communication problem between the AP and the other station.
