AirCheck G2 offers a one-button AutoTest function that quickly provides a pass/fail indication of WiFi network quality and identifies common problems
Faster and easier WiFi site surveys with AirMapper™ Site Survey including active surveys to validate client experience and roaming.
Test the most common WiFi standards (including 802.11ax) with a rugged, handheld, purpose-built wi-fi tester.
See all networks and devices in your location immediately upon power up.
View test results, including network availability, connectivity, utilization, noise levels, throughput, security settings, possible rogues, and interferers.
Automate reporting and enable collaboration with result upload and management via Link-Live Cloud Service.
AirCheck G2 performs the following five essential WiFi tests and provides a pass/fail indication of the wireless environment, as well as identifies common problems — for any level of expertise:
Quickly view all the APs present in the environment and see critical parameters for each one, including signal level, signal/noise ratio, security type, and channel. Find common issues such as incorrect security type, poor signal coverage, or incorrect channel.
Sort or filter by any parameter, then drill into any AP to set its authorization level and see more details, including number of connected clients, supported rates, 802.11n/ac/ax capabilities and more. From the AP details page, drill into a list of connected clients, or the channel on which the AP operates to verify any channel utilization or co-channel interference problems.
From here you can also use a locator tool to find an AP, set Access Control status (ACL), or you can perform a packet capture.
Verify network availability and access to critical services by connecting to a network (SSID) or AP with a single touch on the Connect button. Key test steps include:
Once connected to a network, perform a roaming test to validate that roaming is enabled on the network, or run an iPerf performance test to verify throughput capabilities on the network.
The AirCheck G2’s built-in Ethernet test validates that APs have a working backhaul connection to the network.
With the AirMapper app, AirCheck G2 users can quickly and easily gather location-based WiFi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live Cloud Service or AirMagnet Survey PRO. Simple to use, the AirMapper app is ideal for quick site surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification.
Collaborate with staff across your organization with centralized visibility of distributed tests, speeding resolution of remote site issues.
