Any suggestion what WiFi Analyzer Software to use

Hi all,

I am just thinking about installing a software for a quick WiFi Anayses on my Laptop - to get a fast overview at the customer's site, regarding the Key Wifi indicators.

Just wanted to check what others are using for that task - I found inSSIDer as a tool and think that would suit quite well, but don't want to invest without checking what you are using šŸ˜‰

best regards
Peter

Hi all,

Thanks very much for your tips - I am going to try inSSID 3.1 (freeware) and if everything is fine thinking going to chanalyzer šŸ˜‰

But was great help!

Personally I have and use chanalyzer as that not only shows the other SSIDs but also background noise levels as well as any potential interference. it also helps show co-channel interference by what other APs on which channels are heard and/or causing issues. ...the down side is... it's not free.

If your running Windows you can use the command line to give you some more data than the GUI.

netsh>wlan
netsh wlan>show networks mode=bssid
