Wi-Spy Benefits
As the 2.4 GHz ISM Band becomes more popular (and more congested) interference from non-Wifi devices can seriously degrade Wi-Fi performance. Other Wi-Fi tools, such as NetStumbler and Kismet only provide information about other Wi-Fi devices, but do not show interference from cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, Zigbee, and other 2.4 GHz devices. Wi-Spy shows you the radio signals on the 2.4GHz band from all devices transmitting in that frequency - regardless of whether they are Wi-Fi devices.
How can a Wi-Spy help me?
Here are some concrete examples of how Wi-Spy equipment can help you minimize the time you spend installing and troubleshooting wireless networks.- If you install, maintain, or troubleshoot 802.11a/b/g/n networks, find the cleanest channel and minimize interference.
- If you work with consumers, avoid a revisit by using a Wi-Spy to determine what devices are likely to interfere with their network.
- If you experience Wi-Fi interference on a regular basis, discover competing access points AND other devices.
- Conduct pre-installation site surveys using Wi-Spy.
