Analyze This! The AirMagnet Laptop Mobile WLAN Analyzer: Page 3 of 4

To check out the system's intelligence, we installed an older, defective, wireless broadband gateway known to continuously reset itself. The AirMagnet Laptop analyzer detected the problem and provided a useful and fairly impressive diagnosis.

The product also provides site survey tools, which we used on a recently installed WLAN. After selecting a reference AP, we monitored the signal and noise values along with packet loss and retry details at a number of different locations. At each location, we clicked on the Log button and entered a description of that location. If this had been a real site survey, we could have used the information to map the results.
