Hi wi-fi peeps! Our ITS department is looking to buy a Chromebook, and I've been asked to look into whether there are better ones for testing wi-fi. So before I start trawling the web, I though I'd throw it out to the forum and see what experiences you folks have had with Chromebooks, and if you would recommend any to use for a quick and easy wi-fi troubleshooting tool for our 1st line group. From a high level this will essentially be used as a means of comparison when students bring in their device, so they can help to narrow down the cause of the issue, before potentially escalating to me. Also it would be beneficial if it could host some kind of app that gave them a simple (perhaps graphical) interface showing audible WLANs & RSSI.
I realize that one way to look at this is to try and identify the most commonly used Chromebook by our students, so we can truly mirror their experience. So this is something that is being taken into consideration.
