RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site Survey Software

[Flagg, Martin D.]

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.   Requirements: AP Power in real Time Show all access points in range and channel/Freq must support LEAP/PEAP   Wish List: Quality Measurement Record measurements to a map Spectrum analyzer Martin D.
