Wi-Fi Visibility
This new software release will allow users to use the Wi-Fi 6 radio in their AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, or CyberScope to discover and locate Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) devices in the 2.4/5/6 GHz bands. Even though Wi-Fi 7 introduces new technologies designed to increase throughput and stability of Wi-Fi networks, basic functionality has stayed the same. Because of that, you will be able to run connectivity, roaming, Ping/TCP, iPerf, discovery tests and more by using the Wi-Fi 6 radio currently available in your NetAlly testers.
