contribute to poor WiFi performance . As a consequence , surveying the home ’ s
WiFi environment is an important step for a
and client device and educating the customer about true WiFi performance and shortcomings . l Discovers the network and lists Access Points , Clients and Channels in table and graphical format l AP detailed capabilities discovery including SSID , BSSID , channels , security , supported data rates , signal and noise levels , co-channel and adjacent APs and associated clients l Survey coverage problems with signal and noise levels tracking l Analyse Channel usage by utilisation and number of APs l Discover associated and non-associated WiFi Clients present in the network l Locate rogue APs and clients with directional antenna
To learn more about WiFi technology and how the VeEX WiFi
Air Expert Module can help you survey , optimise , troubleshoot and enhance user experience on your networks visit our website at www . veexinc . com successful home installation , firstly by discovering the neighbouring APs channel allocation , signal strength and utilisation , since this can guide optimal AP channel selection . It is also essential to monitor the full RF Spectrum in order to identify sources of non-WiFi interference that could have a destructive effect on the signal .
Performance Access Point vendors advertise incredible data rates , but in practice they can only be achieved in the best of circumstances . The further from the AP and the more obstacles in the way , the lower the speed at which the client device and AP will communicate . In addition , greater interference from WiFi or non-WiFi sources will cause more errors , resulting in more retransmissions . Protection mechanisms are built in the WiFi standards , to revert to the lowest speed when weak signal or errors are detected . The reality is that even with the latest 802.11ac equipment capable of 1.3 Gbps , the client might end up connecting at a fraction of that speed .
Beyond basic connectivity testing , the customer ’ s Quality of Experience can only be evaluated by real data traffic transmission between the customer ’ s AP
Security Since WiFi data travels over the air , anyone in the vicinity , with simply a computer and the right sniffer software program , can capture and decode data or connect to your home network . WiFi security has to be taken seriously and protection from intrusion and eavesdropping should be implemented . The home installation process should include verification of authentication and encryption and advanced troubleshooting capabilities , including detection and tracking of rogue Access Points and clients .
