MetaGeek designed this device for basic site surveying and entry-level wireless troubleshooting. For those looking for a little more information than inSSIDer has to offer, definitely look into the Wi-Spy 2.4i. It will show every thing that may bring the network down. If you've ever wondered why the network randomly drops out, this device is for you.
The Wi-Spy v1 had a maximum amplitude of -50dBm, while the 2.4i reaches -6.5dBm. The resolution of the Wi-Spy 2.4i is much better as well! In fact it performs as well as the Wi-Spy 2.4x default settings. The Wi-Spy v1 retailed at $199, while the Wi-Spy2.4i is $99.
