An access point, comprising: a network node; an antenna node configured to couple to an antenna; and an interface circuit (714, 818), coupled to the network node and the antenna node, configured to communicate via wireless communication with an electronic device in a wireless local area network, WLAN, and to communicate via wired communication or second wireless communication with a second access point in the WLAN, wherein the access point is configured to: receive, via the network node or the antenna node, a request, for a wireless scan, from the second access point using the wired communication or the second wireless communication, where the request specifies a communication channel and the electronic device; perform the wireless scan of the specified communication channel in response to the request, wherein, while performing the wireless scan, the access point is configured to: provide, to the network node or the antenna node, a trigger message intended for the second access point with an instruction for the second access point to provide fake traffic to the electronic device, wherein the fake traffic will not disrupt communication from the second access point to the electronic device, and wherein the trigger message is provided using the wired communication or the second wireless communication; and receive, at the antenna node, a response from the electronic device to the fake traffic, wherein the response is received using wireless communication and the response is intended for the second access point; and provide, to the network node or the antenna node, a report intended for the second access point using the wired communication or the second wireless communication, wherein the report specifies at least a communication performance metric of the electronic device. a network node;
