Abstract

A method for testing a wireless connection of an electronic device includes the following steps. The electronic device is initialized to a stand-by state. A testing server connects the electronic device to form a wireless connection based on a wireless protocol. The testing server outputs a plurality of first data packages to the electronic device and receives a plurality of second data packages from the electronic device to test a rate of data throughput via the wireless connection by the testing server. A wake-up signal is sent to the electronic device via the wireless connection to the electronic device.

Claims

1. A method for testing a wireless connection of an electronic device, the method comprising:

initializing the electronic device to a stand-by state;

forming a wireless connection based on a wireless protocol between a testing server and the electronic device;

outputting a plurality of first data packages to the electronic device and receiving a plurality of second data packages from the electronic device by the testing server to test a rate of data throughput via the wireless connection; and

sending a wake-up signal to the electronic device via the wireless connection to the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein forming a wireless connection further comprises:

searching for the electronic device and sending a connect signal to the electronic device based on the wireless protocol.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless protocol is IEEE 802.11 standard.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the testing server calculates the rate of data throughput according to a volume of the first data packages and the second data packages versus time.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein if the volume falls into a pre-determined range, the rate of the data throughput is passed.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein before sending a wake-up signal to the electronic device, the electronic device is switched to a sleep state by the testing server.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

recording a result of the rate of data throughput and a time moving from the sleep state back to the stand-by state of the electronic device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device sends a first signal to the testing server when the electronic device is woken up by receiving the wake-up signal and sends a second signal to the testing server if the electronic device fails to wake up after a determined period of time.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the testing server comprises a testing module and a wireless connecter and the testing module sends test commands to the electronic device through the wireless connecter.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is under control of the testing server when the wireless connection is formed and can be operated by the testing server.
