When Multi-AP is deployment and where users report roaming problems or where you want to validate coverage overlap.
The Neighbor scan feature of Nebula Live tools under Access Point detail page can check whether the surrounding APs can be detected with sufficient signal strength. This helps verify whether neighboring AP coverage actually overlaps at that location.
This is especially useful when evaluating whether clients have another AP available when the serving AP changes channel or temporarily becomes unavailable. Zyxel's DCS guidance specifically mentions Neighbor Scan as a way to verify neighboring AP availability for roaming.
