How WiTuners Help to Predict Wi-Fi Propagation Effects

Does your WLAN give you all of the features that were promised by the manufacturer? Did you get that high data rate that was printed on the box? Probably not. WiFi is such a complex system that the average buyer/deployer/user doesn’t stand a chance of understanding even the basics of what they need to know to keep a WLAN system running optimally.

First Signs of Trouble

You can have one AP or you might have a hundred. Sure, the more complex the deployment the more involved the interoperability, protocol, and quality of service(QoS) issues. But the one common design issue, no matter the size of the WLAN system, is propagation.
Put one AP in your house and you notice a dead spot in the garage. Put four APs in the office and you just can’t get reliable voice in the back office. You can’t see how the APs connect (they’re wireless, after all), so you have to guess at what’s going on. Or maybe not.
