Wi-Spy is the perfect spectrum analyzer for independent wireless consultants, home theater installers, class rooms, and do-it-yourselfers and it's even better when combined with our industry-leading Chanalyzer software!As the 2.4 GHz ISM Band becomes more popular (and more congested) interference from non-Wifi devices can seriously degrade Wi-Fi performance. Other Wi-Fi tools, such as NetStumbler and Kismet only provide information about other Wi-Fi devices, but do not show interference from cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, and other 2.4 GHz devices. Wi-Spy™ is the only tool that shows you signal strength across the entire 2.4 GHz Band at the radio frequency (RF) level instead of just guessing. Wi-Spy shows you at a glance what Wi-Fi channels are quiet and what channels you should avoid if possible. This makes it easy to pick a quiet channel for your access point instead of picking your favorite number between 1 and 13. Specs
