Colleague of mine manages an smb and his wifi is terrible. Currently they have two sonicwall 01-ssc-9289 to cover a 2500 sq foot office with roughly 25 users on wifi. What do you guys like to use to analyze for dead spots, interference, channel selection, etc??

    Metageek has some good Wi-Fi analysis. Not too expensive either.

    They have a bundle that covers RF and protocol analysis.

    Channelyzer was good for passive scanning but I do not believe it's free anymore.

    On Windows, I use inssider. On my kindle I use WiFi-analyzer. Both are free.

    I like inssider on my phone, havent tried the office version yet. I wonder how well the wi-spy device works.

    Have to agree with everyone else here, I use Channelyzer and InSSIDer as well.

    I used the AirMagnet suite in the past but always looking for other toys.
