NetAlly Launches LANBERT™ Media Qualification App for Testing Network Cabling for Multi-Gig/10Gbps
While there are other tester vendors offering similar capabilities, most are limited to layer 2-only Ethernet access link testing and cannot validate layer 3 enterprise switches and routers. NetAlly’s multifunction tools also features the IP layer line-rate Network Performance Test app, that can validate QoS and SLAs across your entire enterprise network end-to-end including routers – not just one access link and switch – at up to full line-rate 10Gbps.

Holidays are No Time for Slow Wi-Fi
Over the holidays you can expect an increase in users and traffic on your network.
Interference Sources on the Wi-Fi Network
Identify and mitigate interferers right the first time and you can spend your
time on the next issue rather than troubleshooting the last one.
Extending the Battery Life of an AirCheck G2
An easy way to extend the battery life of an AirCheck G2 by more than nine hours without having to spend time re-charging the internal battery or swapping batteries is by using an external battery pack like the XTPower MP-10000.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection Problems
These are very common complaints, and all of them concerning since figuring out the root cause of these common wireless network problems can be very time consuming and sometimes difficult.
EtherScope® nXG Periodic AutoTest
Using the Periodic AutoTest feature of the EtherScope® nXG and the LinkRunner® 10G allows you to deploy the analyzer out to the problem location and monitor network resources over a period of time. Once you know exactly what is having problems and when it is having problems, it makes it much easy to get to the root of the problem.
802.11 Retries, what do they mean?
The RF and Traffic Statistics section of the EtherScope™ nXG provides a per-channel view of the key Wi-Fi statistics. Included in this is a graphical representation of the precent of retries observed by the EtherScope® nXG. The graph above shows the retries when running an iPerf test between an AirCheck™ G2 and a Test Accessory.
