Wireless
Monitoring
A
monitor
that does not require a wired connection to the computer system. The first wireless
monitors are expected to be released in mid-2008 using wireless USB. To work, a
wireless monitor must first packetize
the graphics information so that it can be sent over a standard USB connection;
then, a wireless USB transmitter picks it up and sends it; and finally, a
receiver on the monitor takes in that data and converts it back into graphic pixels.
Wireless monitors offer two basic configurations: adapter sets that let
customers transform their existing displays, or monitors with wireless
connectivity built-in.
Bytes Sent and Received :- Total number of bytes sent to the client and received by the
controller from the client.
Packets Sent and Received :- Total number of packets sent to the client and received by
the controller from the client.
Client RSSI History (dBm) :- History of RSSI as detected by the access point with which
the client is associated.
Client SNR History :- History of SNR as detected by the access point with which
the client is associated.
NetStumbler
NetStumbler (also known as Network
Stumbler) is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs
using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards. It runs on Microsoft
Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. A trimmed-down
version called MiniStumbler is available for the handheld Windows CE
operating system.
The program is commonly used for:
- Wardriving
- Verifying network configurations
- Finding locations with poor coverage in a WLAN
- Detecting causes of wireless interference
- Detecting unauthorized ("rogue") access points
- Aiming directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links
WirelessMon
|
Monitor
the status of wi-fi adapters and gather information about nearby access points
and hotspots in real-time with WirelessMon.
WirelessMon
offers comprehensive graphing of signal level and real time IP and 802.11 WiFi
statistics. It can log all wireless information it has collected into a file,
for archival purposes and future reference.
WirelessMon is a software tool from PassMark Software which lets you:
WirelessMon is a software tool from PassMark Software which lets you:
- Verify that the 802.11 network configuration is correct.
- Test WiFi hardware and device drivers are functioning correctly.
- Check signal levels from your local WiFi network and nearby networks.
- Help locate sources of interference to your network.
- WirelessMon supports the MetaGeek Wi-Spy (2.4i, 2.4x and DBx) useful for finding interference from non 802.11A/B/G devices transmitting on the same frequencies.
- Scan for hot spots in your local area (great for wardriving!)
- Create signal strength maps of an area
- GPS support for logging and mapping signal strength
- Correctly locate your wireless antenna (especially important for directional antennas).
- Verify the security settings for local access points.
- Measure network speed & throughput and view available data rates.
- Help check wi-fi network coverage and range
InSSider
inSSIDer
is a Wi-Fi network scanner for Windows. It received a 2008 Infoworld Bossie
Award for "Best of open source software in networking"
- Works with internal Wi-Fi radio
- Wi-Fi network information (SSID, MAC, Access point vendor, data rate, signal strength, security, etc.)
- Graph signal strength over time
- Shows how Wifi networks overlap
- Open source (Apache License, Version 2.0)
- GPS Support
- Export to Netstumbler(*.ns1) files
- KML Logging
