Troubleshooting wireless networks is bad enough when you've had a chance to design them. But all too often, users just plug in yet another access point that clashes with your network due to their mis-configuration or non-configuration. Finding them can be a problem, but AiroPeek can be a powerful tool in your wireless arsenal for debugging just such issues. It quickly discovers, for example, rogue access points as well as those with the wrong Network ID or with improperly set encryption.

Now imagine that the users are hours or days away and you can't justify the expense or down-time of being away to fix the problem. In steps RFGrabber. With this small, easy to set up, easy to ship around add-on to AiroPeek, you can diagnose these same wireless network problems remotely. And it's paid for in less than the cost of a typical, last minute, out-of-town business trip.

While neither AiroPeek nor RF Grabber can solve every problem you run into with a wireless network, they do help solve many. If you like EtherPeek for solving Ethernet problems, you'll love AiroPeek and RF Grabber for your wireless ones.
