Site Survey

So I am putting up a temp wireless device for our corporate network and I am wondering what (free) site survey tools would be best for helping determine the best place for me to place the device.

The wireless client software already on your endpoints is the best free solution. Place the WAP and test the signal strength by looking at the signal strength graph while walking around. It's simple and free.
