To configure WiFi Performance testing, go to the configuration page through the primary Performance dashboard or directly @ https://console.802secure.net/wifi/performance/config/list.
From the list page you can observe the configured tasks including the SSID, target rates, time between tests and AirShield sensors assigned for testing.
Clicking on the New Config button will bring up a dialog where test details can be entered.
