Network World Highly Recommends Wi-Spy 2.4x!

In this week's Gearhead column Mark Gibbs takes a look at why wireless geeks are going to want Wi-Spy 2.4x:

This is a pretty snazzy piece of hardware, but two other features make the Wi-Spy outstanding. The first is its software, Chanalyzer... What this deluge of data shows you is, for a given location, how the spectrum is being used and abused. For example, you can see where devices such as microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices and cordless phones might be adding noise and reducing Wi-Fi throughput.

The other outstanding feature is that you can save and replay your Wi-Spy spectrum captures and share them with other users. MetaGeek has a library of user contributions that shows what the graphs generated by devices such as microwave ovens, cellular phones, baby monitors and cordless phones look like – these are extremely useful when you are trying to track down your own Wi-Fi problems.

Wi-Spy 2.4x is, as I wrote, outstanding, and at $399 an excellent value. Highly recommended.
