I thought I'd check to see if anyone has a used Airmagnet system for sale.

I dont think it works that way...

It only allows you to install on one laptop maybe two...

Honestly, now that I've played with it the only thing I like about it is being able to track down rogue AP's etc...

Hello spiderbite:

Wow. I always thought Air Magnet was pretty good. At least thats what I heard.

It seems to have a lot of features. And I hear it can give lots of info not just for what the client is receiving, but also for the AP. I don't know how Air Magnet makes the AP report back to Air Magnet about the signal information the AP sees.

But I have never tried Air Magnet before. So I'm real interested in what you have to say about it. Cause if it might be lacking, I would sure hate to spend $3400 for something that maybe isn't all its cracked up to be.

Can you elaborate a little more?

What do you use to do site surveys if you don't use the Air Magnet? Do you get two way information when you do site surveys? Your site survey tools work with different chip sets?

BobY777, you can download a demo and check it out yourself for free. You can also check out commview for wifi for free as well.

Cheers!!!

AirMagnet's Surveyor and Sensor products are fantastic tools. Much better than AirDefense at less cost.

That being said, I may be willing to part with an older iPAQ with the AirMagnet card and 2.5.1 build 172 software...but I cannot provide warranty or support.
Make me an offer... allenm@gmail.com

AirMagnet has a new package called Surveyor just for doing site surveys and it is fantastic. It will display a graphical map of the coverage area, noise, connection speeds etc. It uses the wireless card to do a active or passive survey as you walk the floorplan. The pro version has support for 3D surveys over multiple floors.

The AirMagnet Mobile / Laptop software is used to troubleshoot and secure wireless networks. It goes far beyond signal / noise displays and actually identifies specific problems with the network and offers possible solutions.

If you have any specific questions about any of the products please direct them to me.
