WiFi Tester / Strength Meter Assistance?
Question by PHIL: WiFi Tester / Strength Meter Assistance?
Hello folks!
My organisation uses a WiFi infrastructure as we are predominantly warehouse based.
I am looking to purchase a handheld WiFi scanner/detector that tells me what the WiFi signal strength is like in the area that I am in.
We seem to have weak / dead spots in our warehouse and all the software I have tried seems pretty rubbish!
Can you reccomend any dedicated devices (NOT software) as I really do not know what to get!
Many thanks for your help.
Phil

Costs .
There is however a method that costs absolutely nothing. You just need a laptop computer with a wireless adapter and a software called Netstumbler. It measures the strength of your networks in dB.
