Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply.
I have a greenfield project and I have to design the access points etc. Thus I wanted to understand which tool is best for site survey so that we can avoid interference etc. We are planning for 802.11 g as it will give more channels and good enough for Voice/video/data over wireless. Pls suggest.
