NetSpot is a highly professional Wi-Fi analysis tool capable of scanning, analyzing, and troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks, as well as detecting areas within a room where signal strength is weak. Additionally, NetSpot uses visualized maps based on collected wireless data to help determine the best way to optimize your Wi-Fi environment.
NetSpot enables the planning of new wireless networks, execution of wireless surveys, and creation of Wi-Fi signal coverage visualizations. The software includes over 20 heatmap overlay charts and provides powerful, customizable reporting features.
With NetSpot, setting up a new wireless network is no longer a guessing game. All you need is one or more portable access points to evaluate potential Wi-Fi coverage and plan it perfectly. Simply start a new survey project, place your hotspot in a designated location, collect a few samples, then move to another location and repeat the process. Once completed, combine your survey snapshots together—just as you would test an existing network with multiple access points.
NetSpot offers more than 15 heatmap views to assist in troubleshooting and managing any Wi-Fi setup. By helping analyze every access point, NetSpot is useful not only for average users but also provides in-depth information for true wireless networking experts.
