So what's the number one cause of any wireless trouble (besides mismatched encryption)?
Interference. Other devices operating on the same frequency as your wireless.
Was called out to a new large wireless installation. Some clients just had a heck of a time communicating. All things pointed to interference/layer1 problem.
Well what do you know! Some strange device is operating in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. Fire up the analyzer...it isn't WiFi - It's something else. And it's using 100% of all the frequencies in the entire 2.4 spectrum. WTF could it be?
A tiny wireless device with an omnidirectional antenna used to send video, raping all the channels and bandwidth. Who knew? Who woulda thought? How would you EVER find it?
I normally farm out site survey stuff to others, but this thing nailed it, identified it, and found it. I'm convinced, it's as necessary of a tool as a cable certifier...maybe more so.
