Abstract
An electronic device that coordinates collection of communication data in a wireless network is described. During operation, the electronic device may provide, from an interface circuit, a troubleshooting request, where the troubleshooting request instructs at least a second electronic device (such as an access point) in the one or more second electronic devices to capture the communication data associated with subsequent communication by the electronic device. For example, the troubleshooting request may be included in a vendor specific public action frame that is broadcast or unicast. Then, the electronic device may provide, from the interface circuit, one or more packets or frames. Moreover, the electronic device may collect the communication data associated with the subsequent communication.
