Basic office installs are normally easy enough and can be changed with little effort but if you are installing AP's in places where changing or moving them isn't easy then get someone in. I'd vote for a consultant unless the deployment is very straight forward. Have you considered just paying a consultant to do the survey for you? Unless you see a need to frequently redo de survey there is no point in investing in software and the training you'll need to actually do a proper survey & analysis.Īlso you'll need some kind of spectrum analyzer, not just the software package. Meraki do have a subscription so in that case using less APs makes sense. Netspot is a decent, albeit bare bones in comparison to the higher end tools, but can definitely get the job done.ĭepending on recurring costs per AP it's probably cheaper and better on the long run to go for many low powered APs rather than maximizing coverage with the least APs. I can't comment on how it compares to an Ekahau or an Airmagnet type product, but from this link gives a pretty good demo of what it is capable of. If you are on a budget and need a site survey tool and predictive design tool, take a look at tamosoft's tamograph site survey pro, it comes in under 1000 bucks if you know where to look for a discount code.

Claim Acrylic WiFi Professional and update features and information. The newer ones also work as a fairly decent resolution spectrum analyzer in a pinch if I don't have a dedicated spectrum analyzer on me. Government agencies and organizations that need a solution for permitting, licensing, inspections, and code enforcement Support.
In addition to this I have 1 of pretty much every model of our controller based APs set aside and converted to an autonomous mode AP to use for site survey work.
For quick troubleshooting I have a Netscout Aircheck G2. I will soon have an Ekahau sidekick to use when I do my pre-deployment and post deployment (validation) surveys. I use Ekahau site survey pro with planner to do both predictive design and site survey.
