Fluke Networks has released version 2.0 of the software that powers its popular AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester, making it both easier and faster for frontline technicians to troubleshoot complex wireless LANs (WLAN) problems.
The Wi-Fi Tester features a new one-button AutoTest that automatically conducts critical wireless tests for interference, network quality and rogue access point (AP) detection to validate wireless network performance, and discover security threats and other issues impacting end-users.
In addition to the AutoTest feature, the AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester v2.0 also provides increased visibility of client devices – such as laptops and printers – and allows users to track them, making it easy to identify and solve wireless connectivity problems. Furthermore, it includes an onboard security configuration feature that allows users to configure the tester on the fly to access secure networks – without having to use a PC.
Customers response to the AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester’s new features has been positive according to the company. “Wireless is a key component of our corporate network and when a wireless issue arises, we often send technicians into the field, or utilize personnel at remote sites, to troubleshoot and identify issues,” said Robert Aboud, senior technical staff member at Hospira. ”The one-button AutoTest has helped to dramatically reduce resolution time, and offers a level of simplicity that’s not often seen in other wireless troubleshooting tools.”
