However, if you are looking to measure coverage and signal strength for your own network, you will have more benefit from using a heat mapper. For this, also see further advice in Five questions to ask when your phone does not find Wi-Fi

Mobiles, computers, or other devices that can't find the network.

Slow or unstable wireless connections in your home.I'll experiment with it this weekend and see if it's something my team would be interested in for the odd site survey job. I see Kipkay on YouTube suggest NetSpot, which has a personal and commercial version in my personal price range/justifiable work expenses range.

Is anyone familiar with a reasonably priced software that is GPS compatible to generate WiFi heatmaps that can later be overlaid on a building plan/room layout or even a google maps screen shot to improve the quality of my reports? Alternatively, do you do this a different way?Įdit: Still open to suggestions. I was thinking of looking for inspiration in old forums where I had seen people do things like that in the past, but it looks like almost none of the software exists as a free or reasonably-priced solution any more. I've got InSSIDer installed to monitor the perceived signal strength and run a ping to watch for packet loss and jitter, but besides that, I don't have a good way to produce a nice visual report. On occasion I get sent out to a clients to investigate reported dead zones or otherwise audit for signal strength. NetSpot looks pretty promising and in my price range I should have said 'reasonably-priced to me is 50-200' but I see some people have enough related business to justify some really expensive packages, which is pretty cool! Anyhow, thanks again and good luck next weak team. Sorry for not getting back to you all, long day at work and then had a sick family member most of the weekend and still finishing up chores. Hey everyone, thank you for your comments and suggestions.
