Monitoring Available Wireless Networks
The Site Monitor utility measures the signal-to-noise (SNR) values of all
available wireless networks. Use this utility to determine the best placement of
access points in a wireless network.
To monitor available wireless networks
Follow this procedure to monitor available wireless networks using the Site
Monitor utility.
1. Right-click the Control Center icon
on the Windows taskbar and select
Site Monitor. The Site Monitor
survey message appears.
2. Click OK. The Site Monitor window
opens.
To view available wireless connections
The Site Monitor main window displays the available wireless connections and
the SNR value of each available connection. Use the Site Monitor window to
locate the available wireless connection with the best signal.
Note: Some access points disable their SSID broadcasting to hide themselves
from “Site Survey” or “Site Monitor.” You may join these APs if you know their
SSIDs.
