Key Features
- Quickly test, verify, and troubleshoot technology upgrades, Wi-Fi 6/6E networks, and Bluetooth/BLE devices with advanced testing apps and purpose-built hardware.
- Supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum analysis with the optional NXT-1000 Portable Spectrum Analyzer adapter.
- Automatically discover and instantly map your wired and Wi-Fi networks in Link-Live; identifies network changes and keeps network documentation up to date.
- Faster and easier Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/BLE surveys with AirMapper™ Site Survey including active surveys to validate client experience and roaming. Create and share visual heatmaps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live™ collaboration, reporting, and analysis platform.
- Enables remote engineers to troubleshoot and collaborate with on-site technicians with cloud remote control in Link-Live.
- Seamlessly consolidate and manage field test data and integrate with network management systems via Link-Live.
The AirCheck G3 provides AutoTest profiles with best practice pass/fail thresholds for quick assessment of Wi-Fi network configurations and services. - Multiple Profiles Can be created for complex Wi-Fi networks with multiple SSIDs, each with its own set of services tests. Profiles can then be organized into named profile groups that allow one button validations across multiple SSIDs, bands and authentications. With profile groups, engineers can effectively transfer their network configuration and test knowledge to technicians, saving training time and effort.
- Air Quality Test The Air Quality Test performs a scan of the channels in your wireless network to measure channel utilization and interference.
- Periodic AutoTest In this mode, AutoTest can run multiple test profiles at specified intervals and sends the results to Link-Live to analyze the results over time. This is an effective way to “monitor” connectivity of your Wi-Fi network for an extended period and diagnose intermittent issues without having to manually execute multiple tests.
Native Wi-Fi 6 and 6GHz Support With the introduction of Wi-Fi 6/6E, how WLAN validation and troubleshooting is done has changed – necessitating new technology to test and validate these networks. - Validate actual Wi-Fi 6/6E network performance and utilization using a native 802.11ax radio
- Gain visibility into all Wi-Fi devices working on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands
- Enables packet captures of Wi-Fi 6 control, management, and data frames in all 3 bands
- Diagnose new Wi-Fi 6E mechanisms of Reduced Neighbor Reports, Preferred Scanning Channels, and multi-BSSID
- Authenticate using the latest security standard of WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Roaming Analysis In the Wi-Fi link test graphs anytime the AirCheck G3 roams and connects to a new AP, a green vertical line will be shown in the graph. Seeing the correlation between various factors and roam events can help diagnose roaming issues. Paired with the Connect Log, engineers can determine the exact step in the process that may be causing the failure. Automated Problem Detection AirCheck G3 automatically diagnoses various conditions on wireless networks and identifies specific problems which can be sorted by severity or time detected. Drill in to see a detailed description of the problem and recommended course of action to mitigate.
With the AirMapper app, AirCheck G3 users can quickly and easily gather location-based Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/BLE measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live collaboration, reporting, and analysis platform. Simple to use, the AirMapper app is ideal for quick site surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification. - Faster and easier Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/BLE site surveys with a rugged handheld tester
- Perform enterprise-grade surveys without the need of a dongle or tethered device for accurate and complete data collection
- Automatically identify common Wi-Fi network problems using InSites™ intelligence analysis in Link-Live
- Collaborate - easily visualize, generate reports, and share survey data through Link-Live
- Simultaneous passive and active Wi-Fi surveys to gather critical site metrics, validate client experience, and roaming with one survey
- Export Wi-Fi survey data to AirMagnet® Survey PRO for more advanced analysis, planning and reporting
Instantly see what is on the network and where it is connected. Quickly investigate and locate “suspect” devices and identify problems associated with device misconfigurations.
- Discovers network devices across multiple VLANs and Wi-Fi SSIDs
- Discovery Difference analysis in Link-Live exposes possible security risks in the network infrastructure by showing changes in connected devices
- Powerful filter and sort function with automatic problem detection identifies issues such as:
- Duplicate IPs, congested switch ports, and oversubscribed Wi-Fi channels/SSIDs
- Security issues, such as unknown switches, access points with open athentication
- Path Analysis shows the switch/router path to any connected device
- Batch authorization workflow makes it easy to identify known vs. unknown devices, enabling “who’s on my network” auditing.
Wi-Fi Performance Test and Packet Capture Verify Wi-Fi performance, and easily capture packets for detailed application analysis. - Simultaneously generate and measure IP-based traffic using two Wi-Fi radios
- Supports popular iPerf network throughput testing for Wi-Fi networks
- Capture wireless traffic to PCAP files for escalation evidence or analysis, with simple but powerful filtering and slicing controls
