There’s a WiSPY here at work (somewhere!).

Thanks Dave – and did you try it? Does it work well?

Ah, that would be the one on my desk 🙂
Works pretty well, though doesn’t let you identify what the signals actually are. It does make it easy to spot non-wifi interference though.
Feel free to try it sometime.

I have one of those too. It’s very nice for giving you an overview of the activity in the 2.4G range, and the new windows interface is very good. Don’t use it in the vicinity of a cheap microwave though, or your colleagues might be scared. Personally I love the display that shows Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4 channels 🙂

Got Something To Say:

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:
     [This is not a link](http://example.com)

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
