Site Survey software available?

laxcis — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 22:54:06 GMT

I read on another website that Cisco has software (free) available to users that are performing a site survey. Is this true and if so, how do I get my hands on it? If not true, what is the best product available at a no charge cost? Thanks.

Rob - Might be a stupid question but is it a requirement to have a Cisco wireless adapter installed? I have an internal wireless adapter and also tried a Linksys wireless adapter but that doesn't seem to cut it when I open the program. Says no wireless LAN adapter installed.

To use the ADU, yes, you need to have a Cisco wireless card...

with a non Cisco card, there are a few limited free tools, such as Netstumbler or Kismet...
