Perform a literature review or an Internet search on wireless site survey, wireless interference, wireless access, and wireless networks. Use IEEE style for your citations.

Purpose

The purpose of this portfolio topic is to familiarize you with wireless networking environment and the various tools that are available to help practitioners effectively plan and deploy Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN).

The Application Process

1. Perform a literature review or an Internet search on wireless site survey, wireless interference, wireless access, and wireless networks. Use IEEE style for your citations.

2. Download CommView for WiFi (https://www.tamos.com/download/main/ca.php) and WirelessNetView (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html) and install them on a laptop computer.

3. Run the tools and familiarize yourself with all the terms that appear on the GUI. Such terms include, among others, SSID, TX/RX, IP, MAC, dBm, and RSSI. You should describe these in your report. Collect as much data as possible on different

scenarios/environments (home, school, or commercial establishments that are equipped with WiFi). Analyze the data collected and determine the relevancy of each available data item.

4. Describe how the tool can be utilized in

a. searching for WiFi networks

b. managing and troubleshooting WiFi connections

c. verifying WiFi coverage

d. locating WiFi devices, and

e. detecting rogue APs
