Wireless Signal Strength + Performance

wifi

We have two access points on the shop floor. One of the AP's is not performing correctly with erratic signal strength and connectivity. Are there any open source tools available to measure performance of a wireless access point or router?


KisMAC or Kismet, will allow you to monitor signal strengths fluctuations and/or interference causing problems for your access point(s), possibly helping you diagnose the issue. If you have the budget, you could invest in a Wi-Spy card.


I'm fond of inSIDDer from metageek.


NetStumbler is a good free tool for measuring the performance of wireless connections.
