802.11 network discovery tool (Wi-Fi) that collects information about nearby wireless access points in real time and displays it in useful ways.
NetStumbler same purpose, which includes many more features. Data is shown using a variety of different points of view diagnosis and graphics. Data can be recorded and reproduced for long periods at a later date / time. In addition, reports can be generated in Adobe PDF format. NetSurveyor applications include:
- During installation of a wireless network, as an aid in verifying the network is properly and antennas configured are located in locations to achieve efficient transmission / reception - ie for use in verifying WiFi coverage and maximizing power beacon signal
- Troubleshooting an existing wireless network or environment that is malfunctioning
- Report the presence of WiFi access points and local networks and the signal intensities of the beacons
- Performing wireless surveys site where the installer is interested in learning about coverage of a point of new or existing access, roaming capability, presence of RF interference or "dead spots", and the optimum location of points access, their antennas and client stations
- In a business environment safe for use in detecting the presence of unauthorized access points
- As a learning tool to help understand the relationship between access points (BSSID), wireless networks (SSID) and client stations (STA)
NetSurveyor is a diagnostic tool that falls under the category of scanners or WiFi 802.11 network discovery tools. The best known of this category is NetStumbler. A discovery tool reports the Service Set Identifier (SSID) for each wireless network detects, along with the channel used by the access point (AP) Provision of such a network.
The way this works is that roughly every 100 ms access point sends a "here I am" lighthouse - and the discovery tool (running on your laptop and using its 802.11 wireless adapters, also known as a station or STA) picks up that the SSID beacon and adds to its list of known wireless networks. In addition, the discovery tool reports the RSSI (Indication of received signal strength) for each access point, which is more or less an indication of how close the AP is to your current location (ie, how close it is customer STA). To be clear, the RSSI reflects the strength of the beacon received by the STA - not an indication of performance.
NetSurveyor differs from other tools in its category in the following ways:
- It's free.
- In addition to the grid that is updated several times about each access point, there are 6 graphic, views diagnosis: (1) time course of Qualities beacon for each access point, (2) Differential Display Qualities lighthouse for each point access, (3) use of each of the 802.11 b / Channels g, (4) time course of using each of the 802.11 b / g Channels, (5) heat map / Waterfall's drawing 802.11 b / g channels and (6) channel spectrogram 802.11 b / g channels. The more (and different) forms that have to look at the data below, the greater the chance that something called the attention that might otherwise be lost if used a single chart type.
- It generates reports in Adobe PDF format that includes the list of access points and their properties along with images of each of the 6 cards of diagnosis.
- Powerful and innovative logging and recording capability. Other products that, if they offer a function of recording / playback, generally follow the paradigm of "recorder". the playback mode NetSurveyor is unique because it displays all recorded data - that is, a button 'play' is pressed and then forced to watch minutes or hours of travel data with the hope that some unusual event will-will draw attention. The unique approach makes NetSurveyor review of recorded data in an instant.
- If your laptop or PC has multiple wireless adapters installed - is not a problem. When NetSurveyor launches detects each of these and asks you to choose which one to use for that session.
- Supports most all wireless adapters - that is, those that are installed with an NDIS 5.x (or later) driver. This would include wireless adapters that run on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
- It can run in 'demo' mode - so even if you do not have a wireless adapter connected to your desktop or laptop machine can still experiment with the application to see if it suits your needs.
