NetSurveyor is a discovery tool that reports the Service Set Identifier (SSID) for each wireless network it detects, along with the channel used by the access point (AP) servicing that network. It includes wireless adapters running on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.Reports are generated in Adobe PDF format in which the list of access points and their properties along with images of each of the 6 diagnostic charts are included.Unique and powerful logging and recording capability.Its innovative approach helps in quickly reviewing recorded data.
