Anytime, Anywhere, Wireless Network Monitoring and WiFi Troubleshooting with the AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer Pro
Wireless network monitor provides real-time accurate, independent and reliable Wi-Fi analysis of 802.11a/b/g/n and ac wireless networks, including 3 X 3 802.11ac wireless network analysis without missing any traffic
Highly portable wireless network analyzer that travels to the source of the wireless network troubleshooting problems enabling faster and accurate fault-finding without any AP downtime
Dedicated WiFi network monitoring and troubleshooting software solution guaranteeing any wireless network fault detection as compared to “time-slicing monitoring functionality” built inside the wireless network infrastructure
Wireless network monitor and WiFi troubleshooting reduces IT costs, simplifies workload and minimizes user complaints by obtaining instant answers to ANY wireless network connectivity, WiFi signal strength, wireless network performance, roaming, interference and wireless network security issues using the AirWISE intelligence engine WiFi Monitoring Software
Unique wireless network monitor active toolset to isolate and troubleshoot WiFi connectivity and monitor wireless network performance issues
Strengthen your wireless network security by monitoring, detecting and eliminating any wireless network threats and vulnerabilities
Auditor-ready WiFi Security compliance reporting for multiple verticals including wireless PCI compliance, SOX, ISO and many more
Troubleshoot BYOD induced performance and monitor wireless network security issues
| Category | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Name | AirMagnet Wi-Fi Analyzer PRO |
| Product Type | Professional software suite for Wi-Fi analysis and troubleshooting (runs on compatible hardware) |
| Core Function | Comprehensive Wi-Fi spectrum analysis, network discovery, security auditing, compliance checking, and performance troubleshooting. |
| Supported Operating Systems | |
|---|---|
| Primary OS | Microsoft Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit) |
| Note | Functionality is dependent on driver support for the specified USB adapter. |
| Required Hardware | |
|---|---|
| Computer | Standard laptop or tablet meeting the OS requirements. Not a dedicated handheld device. |
| Supported Adapters | Essential for operation. Requires specific USB wireless adapters that support spectrum analysis and packet capture. Common supported models include: • Wi-Fi 6E: Oscium Wi-Fi 6e Spectrum Analyzer • Wi-Fi 6/5: Cisco CMX USB adapter, Linksys WUSB6300, Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 (limited modes) • Legacy (for 802.11n/ac): MetaGeek Wi-Spy DBx (for spectrum-only), WildPackets* OTG adapter Note: Adapter support is version-specific; must be verified with the latest compatibility guide from NETSCOUT. |
| Analysis & Capabilities | |
|---|---|
| Spectrum Analysis | Core Feature. Visualizes non-Wi-Fi interference and Wi-Fi channel utilization using a supported adapter. • Views: FFT, Spectrogram, Duty Cycle, Channel Energy • Identifies interferers: Bluetooth, microwaves, cordless phones, jammers, etc. |
| Wi-Fi Network Discovery | Discovers all 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) access points and clients in the area. • Details: SSID, BSSID, AP manufacturer, channel, bandwidth, security, RSSI, data rates, supported standards. |
| Device Tracking | Provides real-time and historical views of Wi-Fi device movement across the facility on a floor plan map. |
| Performance Analysis | • VoWi-Fi Analyzer: Measures MOS, jitter, latency, and packet loss for voice quality. • Data Capacity Analysis: Forecasts network capacity based on AP and client density. • Channel Utilization: Graphs airtime usage per channel. |
| Security & Compliance | • Audits & Alerts: Actively audits the network against over 100 security threats and policy violations (e.g., rogue APs, weak encryption, misconfigurations). • WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Passphrase Testing: Tests the strength of pre-shared keys (PSK). • Reports: Generates compliance reports for industry standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GLBA. |
| Packet Capture & Decode | Expert Troubleshooting: Captures and decodes over 3,000 frame types for deep-dive analysis of network problems. Fully compatible with Wireshark®. |
| Planner Module | (Optional Add-on) Allows for predictive modeling of AP placement and coverage before deployment. |
| Key Features | |
|---|---|
| Multi-Band Support | Analyzes 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands (with a supported Wi-Fi 6E adapter). |
| Expert Analysis | Built-in expert system automatically diagnoses common Wi-Fi problems and provides recommended fixes. |
| Reporting | Generates customizable professional reports for site surveys, security audits, and performance assessments. |
| Site Survey | Supports active, passive, and predictive (with Planner) site surveys to validate coverage, performance, and capacity. |
| Comparison to Hardware Tools (e.g., LinkRunner, OptiView) | |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Software running on a Windows laptop. Requires carrying a laptop and USB adapter(s). |
| Focus | Dedicated, in-depth Wi-Fi and RF analysis. More specialized and typically more feature-rich for pure Wi-Fi than the wireless functions in all-in-one handheld tools. |
| Wired Testing | No inherent wired testing capabilities. It is exclusively for wireless and RF analysis. |
| Deployment Use | Ideal for dedicated Wi-Fi troubleshooting, post-installation validation, security audits, and complex performance issues. Less suited for quick "toner-like" port finding or physical layer cable tests. |
Software-Based Solution: Runs on a standard Windows laptop, offering flexibility but requiring the user to provide and manage the hardware.
RF Spectrum Analysis Core: Its primary strength is visualizing both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi interference, which is critical for solving complex performance issues.
Deep Security Focus: Goes far beyond discovery to include active security auditing and compliance reporting against major standards.
Unmatched Wi-Fi Depth: Offers more specialized Wi-Fi troubleshooting features (like VoWi-Fi analysis, detailed packet decode, predictive planning) than the wireless functions in most multi-function handheld testers.
Adapter-Dependent: Its capabilities are directly tied to the supported USB wireless adapter used (especially for spectrum analysis and Wi-Fi 6/6E support).
No Wired Testing: Purely a wireless tool, unlike the Fluke or NetAlly devices which integrate wired and wireless testing.
