Module: IEEE802dot11-MIB
OID (symbolic): IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11RetryCount
OID (numeric): 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.4

Description: This counter shall increment when an MSDU is successfully transmitted after one or more retransmissions.
What is dot11RetryCount?
This counter increments each time an IEEE 802.11 frame (MSDU) is successfully transmitted to the wireless network after requiring one or more retransmissions. It indicates how many frames needed resending due to initial transmission failures on the wireless link. An operator uses this metric to assess wireless link quality and stability; consistently high retry counts suggest poor signal conditions or interference.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11RetryCount
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.2.840.10036.2.2.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE802dot11-MIB::dot11RetryCount.1
