RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site Survey software
In my opinion, people don’t give iBwave a fair shake. It does have some nice features that Ekahau doesn’t, and I see a lot of misconceptions about the price. I am an Ekahau customer from almost the day the company existed, but at the same time I have done independent reviews of iBwave and do recommend putting the two head-to-head to see what works and feels better for your specific needs.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site Survey software
We use Ekahau with the SideKick , it’s much better than the regular NICs. I use the MS Surface Book but Pros work really good too. AirMagnet was good a few years ago but they have derailed.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site Survey Software
I like the Cisco tool but unless something has changed it does not show all APs only the one you are associated with. In answer to some other questions I have clarified my requirements.

Keeping with the free/cheap theme: Spectrum analyzer http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/80ce/ AP Power in Real-Time http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/ You need a "Good" card in the fact that Netstumbler was designed for it's chipset I haven't found anything that puts stuff on a map for under $1000 But that tool is: http://www.ekahau.com/?id=4600 Which seems to retail right around $1200 for the basic package, and $3000 for the full boat (Prediction, Reporting, GPS Logging) For reference, the GranDaddy of this stuff is Wireless Valley at $8000 to $50,000 dollars.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site Survey Software
I've been trying out the WiSpy (from ThinkGeek). I'm not so impressed with the display (whaddaya want for cheap!), but it allows me to investigate interference sources that are not Wi-Fi. I find NetStumbler very convenient for tracking down rogues, at least until our widespread coverage is deployed.
