Systems and methods for determining an available bandwidth in a WiFi link using frame aggregation. One system includes an electronic processor configured to send a request for a probe sequence from a server to an electronic communication device. The electronic processor is configured to receive a probe sequence via the WiFi link and determine an aggregation intensity parameter, the aggregation intensity parameter associated with a number of packets assembled in an aggregated frame for the WiFi link. In response to the aggregation intensity parameter being above a threshold, the electronic processor determines an available bandwidth of the WiFi link is less than a probe rate.
