Hi, this is the first time I'm doing site survey for wireless. what are the steps involved and how do we determine best signal strength and where would we need another AP? can can also determine at which location we will get how much speed? is there any free tool that you would recommend that's good for site survey?

Thanks all in advance.

Learning how to perform a site survey takes time and learning from others who have experience. Free tools don't really work well in my experience. The main tools out there is AirMagnet Survey Pro and Ekahau. There are too many factors to be able to list. What type of survey is required, will you want to do an active or passive. Just too many factors.

Scott is right. Survey and method of how to a survey isn't that easy. But we all have to start somewhere. Here are a few recommendations.

1. Purchase the cwdp book
2. Read the Cisco rtls and voice design guides
3. Read the air magnet how to survey guide

That will get you started
