MERU Compatability?

[mshievitz]

We use the MERU wireless system and love the way their virtual cell tech works, (no channel overlap problems for those unfimiliar all ap's use the same channel, each client gets their own individual BSSID good on the whole bubble) and have 100 aps deployed in one virtual cell. we are lucky enough to be able to support all standards (ABGN) at once. This system however confuses most survey analysis and troubleshooting tools. I want to buy the WiSPY Dx product, but only if it is easy to use with the MERU system. Does anyone have any input or experience with this combo of products?

Hi Mshievitz,

We have seen a Meru set up before, I will include images and links. A few things I should point out, the Wi-Spy DBx will not filter any of the traffic, it will simply show the RF energy for the location you are monitoring. The images I will be sending are from a customer who was having microwave interference with his Meru system.

Each of those links has a wi-spy recording, so feel free to download Chanalyzer, and then those recordings. It should give you an idea of how the software will work with the Wi-Spy DBx.
