Network Rewind and Dynamic Packet Capture Network

Organization

The Wi-Fi Assurance service automatically detects and starts

capturing packets when an anomaly is detected. With this record,
you are able to rewind back in time to see what was going on
exactly when the event occurred. This eliminates hours or even
days of guesswork or time spent trying to reproduce an issue.
