        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-327570-3263292]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I did some basic testing and I really like NetSurveyor.  I did a walk around and was surprised how much WiFI is actually present and how much I could pick up from other companies.  Since we have multiple access points we planned channels based on our information however NetSurveyor has shown other devices from other companies that may affect our setup.  I need to learn more about the tool and do some additional testing.  The report function is very nice.  One problem I ran into was, I tried to access Help and I could not access the online help.  It would be nice to have at least a basic help or hint for the various graphs and features.  Even something like a Channel Heatmap is used for?  I guess some basic information would be better than, I wonder how I can use this feature.  The other option of course would be to include a built in help file.I tried NetStrees but it didn't run on Windows 7 x86 or x64.  I still need to try NetSurveyor on Windows 7.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'll have to play with them here soon and have a look see. I do like the highly graphic display of results. That was also what caught me with the N900 app; The hight and width of the bubble for strength and channel crossover.hm.. I wonder what there is for stress testing on the *nix side. This stress app for windows will help; I'm curious if it's network traffic or wireless load that blows out my humble Soho router first.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Thanks for the tips, I have used Netstumbler as a desktop app, but will check out some of these other tools.I also use Wifi Analyzer on my Android phone.  Works great for analyzing channels, list of APs and signal strenghts.  Great for walking around a building and analyzing access points and signal strengths.]]></description>

Mr. Leytus was patient, yet enthusiastic with his answers.&quot;It takes sincerity and a modicum of brains to get the info out of people you do regularly and with aplomb.You are the most valuable conduit I have between the ivory towers, corporate development offices and forward-looking philosophical thinking, and the trench I wake up in every morning.Thanks for the investment of your time to dive into this kind of stuff, you have a good nose for what's important, too.
