The WLAN Planning Wizard: Capacity Planning Summary screen appears.

Figure 76.

Capacity Planning Summary

The Capacity Planning Summary screen gives you a summary of the capacity-focused plan as per your requirements and
specifications, results of the ‘What-If Scenario Analysis’, and the number of APs, as estimated by Planner to suit the user and

application requirements of capacity. Planner also gives you its analysis of feasibility of capacity planning as ‘Passed!’ or

Failed!’, with the given settings. It estimates if the planned capacity is achievable with the current configuration; and if it is
not, then it gives the potential reason for failure.

If the Capacity Feasibility Check is ‘Passed!’ (Green), it implies that the planned capacity is achieved.

Figure 77.

Capacity Planning Summary – Passed! (Green)

If the Capacity Feasibility Check is ‘Passed?’ (Orange), it implies that the planned capacity is achieved. However,
there are some extra APs, which Planner cannot place using Auto AP placement on the layout. This screen also

displays a ‘?’ link for Estimated max capacity (with Wi-Fi interference) in the ‘What-If Scenario Analysis’ section.
This implies that Planner is unable to calculate the estimated maximum capacity with Wi-Fi interference as all the

estimated devices are not placed on the layout. Clicking <Passed?> or <?> tells you that the auto AP placement is not
able to place all the APs for the selected layout. As a result, you must manually place the remaining APs at the
desired locations after you exit the wizard. It also asks you to use

Auto Channel Allocation

to minimize interference.
