MetaGeek Wi-Spy-2.4x Spectrum Analyzer with RP-SMA connector

The 2.4 GHz band is getting crowded, so you need better wireless networking tools to quickly resolve interference issues. That's why we here at MetaGeek have been working feverishly on Wi-Spy 2.4x, our second generation Wi-Spy with three times the frequency resolution, three times the amplitude resolution, and twice the amplitude range of our original Wi-Spy. With the higher resolution and improved amplitude range of Wi-Spy 2.4x it is now even easier to identify wireless signals that could be causing interference with your Wi-Fi networks. With Wi-Spy 2.4x... "now you'll know, and knowing is half the battle."

Specs
Antenna: External, RP-SMA
Bandwidth: 2400 to 2483.5 MHz
Frequency Resolution: 328 KHz
Amplitude Range: -110 dBm to -6.5 dBm
Amplitude Resolution: 0.5 dBm
Weight: ≈ 23 grams
Sweep Time: 165 millisecond
Wi-Spy is perfect for troubleshooting interference from the following devices:

Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n)
Microwave Ovens
Cordless Phones
Baby Monitors
Bluetooth
Data, Average, and Maximum Tracing
Frequency / Amplitude Marker
Frequency / Wi-Fi / Zigbee Channel Labels
Save, or Copy Image to Clipboard
Record and Play-back Traces
Spectral, Topographic, and Planar Views

As the 2.4 GHz ISM Band becomes more popular (and more congested) interference from non-Wifi devices can seriously degrade Wi-Fi performance. Other Wi-Fi tools, such as NetStumbler and Kismet only provide information about other Wi-Fi devices, but do not show interference from cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, and other 2.4 GHz devices. Wi-Spy™ is the only tool under $2500 that shows you signal strength across the entire 2.4 GHz Band at the radio frequency (RF) level instead of just guessing. Wi-Spy shows you at a glance what Wi-Fi channels are quiet and what channels you should avoid if possible. This makes it easy to pick a quiet channel for your access point instead of picking your favorite number between 1 and 13.
