Settings reference
The Settings tab holds accounts and defaults. The where of a specific survey (Any Wi-Fi, a venue, or APs) is chosen in the Survey lobby; Settings holds everything else. This page lists each section, top to bottom, with its real defaults.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unlock | Trial status, unlock, restore purchases |
| 2 | Using ARRF for | Home or Professional defaults, letter grade, labels |
| 3 | Survey & capture | Cube spacing, floor plan, instructions |
| 4 | Experience | Phone-measured tests and the internet test server |
| 5 | Integrations | The RUCKUS vendor pack: RUCKUS One, APs, My device, signal |
| 6 | AP placement | Ceiling height, automatic AP estimates |
| 7 | Experimental | Apple Intelligence features |
| 8 | Display | Roam markers, AP signs, blur, cube colours and labels |
| 9 | Grade requirement | The targets the RF grade scores against |
| 10 | Report branding | Company, engineer, contact, logo |
| 11 | About | Policies, help, support, version |
Unlock
Section titled “Unlock”The first row reads Unlock ARRF (or ARRF Unlocked) with your status under it — for example “Free trial: 14 days or 3 surveys” or “Trial: 9 days · 2 surveys left”. Tap it for the paywall. Restore purchases shows until the app is unlocked. See Free trial and unlock.
Using ARRF for
Section titled “Using ARRF for”Home or Professional sets defaults only — nothing is hidden, and settings you’ve changed are kept when you switch. Until you answer, the Home defaults apply.
| Setting | Home default | Professional default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show letter grade | Off | On | The A–F letter on Results and the PDF cover; off leads with the plain verdict. |
| Letter grade in PDF report | On | On | Greyed out while Show letter grade is off. Turn it off to give clients the verdict and scores without a letter. |
| Plain-language labels | On | Off | Jargon-light names, e.g. “Router delay” instead of “Wi-Fi latency (p95)”. |
| Cube colours (in Display) | Call quality (MOS) | Signal (dBm) | |
| Show RUCKUS tools (in the Toolbox) | Off | On |
Survey & capture
Section titled “Survey & capture”| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Placement throttle | 0.3 m | Minimum distance between cubes (0–2 m). |
| Live cube interval | 1.0 s | Minimum time between continuous cubes (0.4–5 s). |
| Floor-plan reconstruction | On | Builds a LiDAR floor plan; greyed out on iPhones without LiDAR. |
| Show survey instructions | On | The “How to run a survey” card on each survey’s first appearance. |
Changes apply to the next survey. The capture mode (Continuous vs Stop & sample) is picked in the survey lobby, not here.
Experience
Section titled “Experience”Phone-measured tests on any Wi-Fi, used by Network Test and by surveys that measure experience. Every row except the first shows only while Experience tests is on.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Experience tests (beta) | On | Off restores the RF-only app and hides Network Test. |
| Internet tests | On | Off never contacts the test server: no internet-edge latency, no cloud speed bursts, no connection-setup timing. See Internet tests and privacy. |
| Test server | Blank (arrf-probe.neuralconfig.com) | Shown while Internet tests is on. Enter a bare hostname of your own self-hosted probe server. |
| Manual gateway | Automatic | A router address to time when ARRF can’t find one itself. |
| Local iperf3 server | Off | host or host:port (default port 5201) of an iperf3 -s on your own network, for speed bursts without the internet. A Test iperf3 server button appears once set. |
| Saturate (latency under load) | Off | Keeps a transfer running so every sample also measures latency under load. Uses more data and battery. |
| Fill gaps between surveyed APs | Off | Adds phone-measured cubes where none of the surveyed APs is heard. |
| RF details shortcut | — | Sets up the “ARRF RF” Apple Shortcut that reads this phone’s signal, noise, channel and link rate. |
| RF spot in AR (experimental) | Off | Each stop-and-sample capture briefly switches to Shortcuts and back; hold the phone still. |
Integrations
Section titled “Integrations”Vendor packs add data read from your own access points; Any Wi-Fi works with every network, no pack needed. The one pack is RUCKUS, marked Free with ARRF: AP-measured signal for every cube, survey by venue with automatic AP passwords, live AP diagnostics in Toolbox, and roams between named APs. Tap it for the four sections below.
RUCKUS One account
Section titled “RUCKUS One account”Connect a RUCKUS One tenant to survey by venue with automatic AP passwords. Region (default North America), tenant ID, client ID, and client secret (Keychain-only), plus Test connection and Disconnect RUCKUS One. Full details in Setting up a RUCKUS One account.
Connection
Section titled “Connection”| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Target SSID | empty | The WLAN surveys poll. Set it here or via the SSID picker. |
| APs | empty | Up to 6 manual APs (IPv4, IPv6 or hostname), one SSH Username for all (default admin), and per-AP SSH passwords (Keychain, per IP). Only needed for manual surveys. |
| Trusted APs | none pinned | The SSH host keys ARRF has pinned, one per AP IP. Swipe to forget one after an AP is replaced or reset. |
Surveys log into each AP’s CLI over SSH (TCP 22) and read the AP-measured signal at ~2.5 Hz. See Connecting to your RUCKUS APs.
My device
Section titled “My device”Identify My Phone picks the Wi-Fi client the survey follows; it’s greyed out until you add APs or pick a RUCKUS One venue. Under Advanced you can type the target MAC by hand (default empty). See Identify My Phone.
Signal
Section titled “Signal”Shown in the app as AP signal.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Use true noise floor | Off | When off, ARRF uses the flat dBm offset. |
| dBm offset | −96 | Adjustable −120 to −60. Matches the RUCKUS One dashboard (dBm = SNR + offset). “True noise floor” uses the per-radio measured floor instead (5 GHz ≈ −99). |
| Deep RF stats per cube | Off | Records uplink SNR and MCS for each cube, at one extra AP query per cube. |
Restore defaults resets the noise-floor toggle and the offset.
AP placement
Section titled “AP placement”| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling height | 2.7 m | 2.2–6 m. A manual AP pin starts just under it. |
| Estimate AP locations automatically | Off | Guesses unpinned APs from how their signal changes along your walk — a rough guide, often off by several metres. |
Place APs by standing under each one and tapping Pin here in the survey’s Place APs sheet. See AP locations and roaming.
Experimental
Section titled “Experimental”| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Intelligence features | On | ”Ask your survey” in the 3D view, and the PDF executive-summary draft. Needs a device with Apple Intelligence; hidden otherwise. |
Display
Section titled “Display”| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roam markers | On | Draw a post at each handoff (also on the HUD). |
| AP location signs | On | Show pinned APs (and auto-estimates, when enabled) in the survey. |
| Blur camera background | Off | Off / Light / Medium / Strong. Softens the camera image, including screenshots and recordings. ARRF never saves camera images. |
| Cube colors | Call quality (MOS) for Home, Signal (dBm) for Professional | The metric the cube fill encodes. Experience metrics are listed only while Experience tests is on. |
| Cube label fields | AP name, Signal, Uplink ↑, Downlink ↓ | Up to four near-label fields. |
| Behind walls | Dimmed | How LiDAR-occluded cubes are drawn (Off / Hide / Dimmed). |
See Cube colors, labels, and detail.
Grade requirement
Section titled “Grade requirement”The targets the survey grade scores against, captured into every export:
| Target | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Primary target | −67 dBm | −80 to −50 |
| Edge target | −72 dBm | −90 up to one dB below the primary |
| Min SNR | 25 dB | 10 to 40 |
Signal is the serving AP’s uplink RSSI/SNR — how the AP hears the phone, not a coverage map. Restore defaults resets all three. See Results and the survey grade.
Report branding
Section titled “Report branding”Company, Engineer and Contact are stamped on exported PDF reports; Add logo puts your logo in place of the ARRF mark (without one, your company name does). Leave any blank to omit it.
Links to the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Get Help, and Email Support, plus the app Version. There’s no NeuralConfig account. Experience tests time and download test data from NeuralConfig’s test server (or one you host); the RUCKUS pack talks only to your own access points and, if you connect it, your RUCKUS One tenant.
