1. A method comprising:
receiving, by at least one investigator device, one or more antenna condition test frames transmitted via a plurality of antennas of an access point (AP), wherein the at least one investigator device comprises a plurality of access points nominated for the AP, and wherein the access points are communicatively coupled to the AP over a common channel frequency;
determining, by the at least one investigator device, an average received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas based on the one or more antenna condition test frames;
determining a condition of the plurality of antennas of the AP based on a relative comparison between the average RSSI value corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas of the AP; and
sending, by the at least one investigator device, a notification to an administrator of the AP based on the condition of the plurality of antennas.
