WiFi Analyzers for Wireless Security Installation Considerations
WiFi analyzers are tools or software applications used for analyzing and monitoring wireless networks.
- Nearby Network Detection: WiFi analyzers detect and display information about nearby Wi-Fi networks, including their SSIDs, signal strength, and security protocols.
- Signal Strength Analysis: WiFi analyzers provide real-time signal strength measurements for both the network being analyzed and neighboring networks.
- Channel Utilization: WiFi analyzers display the channel utilization of nearby networks, helping administrators select the least congested channels for access points.
- Security Assessment: WiFi analyzers can detect security-related information about neighboring networks, helping administrators identify potential security risks.
- Troubleshooting: WiFi analyzers can be used to troubleshoot network issues by identifying potential causes.
- Rogue AP Detection: Some WiFi analyzers can detect rogue access points (APs) on the network, helping identify unauthorized devices.
