AirCheck G3 WiFi Network Tester
The most cost-effective WiFi query, troubleshooting and verification solution!
AirCheck G3 Wi-Fi Analyzer's intuitive user interface provides actionable insights that speed and simplify wireless deployment, troubleshooting, and verification. AirCheck G3 provides network professionals of all skill levels complete and accurate information to analyze and review Wi-Fi deployments and changes, quickly resolve connection and performance issues, close trouble tickets faster, and ensure that the Wi-Fi network meets end-user needs and satisfaction.
Self test
NetAlly AirCheck G3 runs the following 5 basic Wi-Fi tests, provides a pass/fail indication of your wireless environment, and identifies common problems, regardless of experience level:
• Use 802.11: Channel reports for each band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
Maximum use of airtime.
• Non-802.11 Usage - Displays the channels with the highest broadcast time usage other than 802.11, indicating sources of interference and high levels of noise.
• Co-channel overlap - indicates the channel in which the number of access points exceeds the lowest co-channel signal level.
• Adjacent channel interference - Reports channel interference due to access points operating on other channels that interfere with this channel.
• Network Quality: Checks coverage, interference, security, and the ability to connect to specific networks, as well as the availability of critical network services such as DHCP and connectivity to specific network destinations.
• Rogue Access Points - to report other access points as authorized devices. These devices can compromise network security.
AirMapper Site Survey app
With the AirMapper app, AirCheck G3 users can now quickly and easily collect location-based Wi-Fi measurements and create visual heatmaps of KPIs in the Link Live or AirMagnet Survey PRO cloud service. AirMapper is easy to use and ideal for quick site surveys for new deployments, change validation, and performance reviews.
AirMapper Site Survey app
• The fastest and easiest Wi-Fi site scanning with a fully mobile platform
network discovery
Quickly view all networks in your area and key parameters for each network, including signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, security type, and number of access points. Look for common issues such as mixed security types, poor signal coverage, or loss of secondary AP coverage.
Sort or filter by any parameter, then drill into details about any network, including 802.11 types supported, number of connected clients, channels, and more. On the network details page, go to the list of access points or clients on the network.
Hot spot detection
Quickly view all access points in your area and the main parameters of each, including signal level, signal-to-noise ratio, security type, and channel. Look for common issues such as the wrong security type, poor signal coverage, or the wrong channel.
Sort or filter by any parameters, then navigate to any access point to set its permission level and view more details including the number of connected clients, supported speeds, 802.11n/ac/ax capabilities, etc. Go to the access point's details page to the list of connected clients or the channel the access point is on to check for channel usage or co-channel interference problems.
From here you can also use the locator to search for access points, set ACL status, or perform packet captures.
Air quality test
The Air Quality Test scans the channels of a wireless network to measure channel utilization and interference. Each table in the Air Quality Results screen shows the four channels with the highest co-channel utilization or interference per band and the number of access points operating on that channel, including adjacent channel interference detection 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz (interference detection BSSID at 40, 80 and 160 MHz wide).
Channel use and interference
Quickly determine if a channel is congested with Wi-Fi traffic and/or non-Wi-Fi interference and noise. You can also get insight into the level of Wi-Fi traffic and interference on a particular channel during the last 60 seconds such as access points, clients and interference using that channel. Scroll down to find out which devices are causing interference, eg microwave ovens, wireless game controllers, Bluetooth devices, Zigbee devices, and wireless cameras.
Local support for WiFi 6 and 6GHz
With the arrival of Wi-Fi 6/6E, the way WLAN validation and troubleshooting is done has changed. New technologies are being introduced to improve traffic management efficiency and support the 6GHz band, enabling higher throughput and better performance in environments that require high capacity usage - new technologies are needed to power these networks for testing and validation. • Validate real-world Wi-Fi 6/6E performance and use with native 802.11ax radio. • Discover all Wi-Fi devices operating in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands*. • Enables data collection for Wi-Fi control management packets and Fi 6 data frames on all three bands • New Wi-Fi 6E diagnostic mechanisms for weak neighbor reports, preferred search channels, and multiple BSSIDs • Authentication using the latest WPA3 security standards and improved openness
Reveal / ROGUE website, customer details
AirCheck G3 provides customer details that convey basic information about a specific device and its configuration. Track rogue access points and rogue clients by tracking signal level indicators and real-time graphs over time. Provides an audio signal and also supports audio for using a USB headset. AirCheck G3 also supports the ability to use an external directional antenna to save a lot of time locating devices.
AIRMAPER on LINKLIVE
AirMapper polling on AirCheck G3 or EtherScope nXG provides an accurate and comprehensive heat map by measuring Wi-Fi performance from the perspective of other mobile devices. Users can map RF signal coverage and view Wi-Fi performance for any location on Earth. The ease of use and portability of the solution allows technicians to quickly troubleshoot or verify Wi-Fi networks by measuring the actual experience of mobile device users.
Added value and key features for ALLYCARE customers!
Customers with AllyCare support on their AirCheck G3 can take advantage of advanced visualization for site analysis and filtering. AllyCare sold separately. AllyCare is a comprehensive support and maintenance service for NetAlly network tools and AirMagnet software that exceed standards to deliver outstanding value for money. AllyCare subscriptions can be purchased as a 1-year subscription or at premium 3-year subscription rates. AllyCare is sold separately and is not included in the kit.
Free Link-Live Cloud Service - Automated management of test results
The free Link Live cloud service serves as a centralized test results and device management system, transforming team workflows by enabling quick and easy check-in, recording, and reporting from all testers in the LinkSprinter network, LinkRunner AT, LinkRunner G2, AirCheck G3, and laptops allowed. EtherScope nXG. Once the tool is connected to the Link Live cloud service, test results are automatically uploaded to a dashboard for project management and reporting. You can upload additional files, polls, screenshots, photos, profiles, package shots, location information, and comments at any time. In addition, some NetAlly tools that support AllyCare can receive firmware updates "over the network" from Link-Live as soon as they become available.
The API can be used to retrieve data from Link-Live and integrate it with other management systems such as fault mapping applications or network management systems.
