I'd add a UPS and a rolling cart. Use the UPS to power your AP and the rolling cart to easily move both around the premesis.
I think it is also important to make sure you know what sort of informaiton you hope to get from the site survey. If you are wanting to check the existing RF conditions, you really need a good spectrum analyzer. It'll show you problems areas and help you find competing sources of interference. Something that won't show up if you are just using Netstumbler and a Cardbus adapter. A common mistake I see is using a high powered/high sensitivity card when doing the site survey to plot out where to put your APs. Don't use a high sensitivty card if most of your users are going to be using Centrino or retail grade Cardbus adapters. Use what they are going to use. A high end card can get a good connection in places where the typical user won't even be able to see the AP. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Reyes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 1:53 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SOCALWUG] Putting together a site survey kit > > I'm trying to put together a site survey kit for 802.11b/g > applications.
