Chanalyzer

Chanalyzer is an advanced tool for the visualization and analysis of wireless network performance data. It is designed to help network professionals analyze, diagnose, and optimize Wi-Fi network performance. Using data collected by spectrum adapters, such as Wi-Spy, Chanalyzer provides a detailed visual representation of the radio frequency spectrum, helping to identify interference and connectivity problems in Wi-Fi networks.

Radio frequency spectrum display

The main feature of Chanalyzer is its real-time display of the radio frequency spectrum, which makes it possible to quickly identify sources of interference and other problems affecting Wi-Fi networks. This software offers several different views, such as the waterfall view, which shows signal strength over time, and the spectrogram view, which presents a more detailed picture of how the RF signals are distributed across the spectrum. These visual tools allow network administrators to easily see which channels are saturated and which are available, making it easier to optimize network performance.

Detect interference and non-Wi-Fi devices

Chanalyzer not only detects Wi-Fi signals, but also identifies and classifies interference from non-Wi-Fi devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, surveillance cameras, and other devices using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands. This capability is crucial for solving connectivity problems that exist beyond the configuration of the network equipment, which are related instead to the presence of external devices affecting the signal quality. Chanalyzer uses device profiles to automatically identify the source of interference and suggests possible solutions to mitigate the impact on the network.

Wi-Fi channel analysis

Chanalyzer shows which channels are busy and how many devices are transmitting on each channel, allowing you to identify the level of congestion on each channel. In addition, Chanalyzer provides information on channel quality, bandwidth usage, and channel occupancy in real time, helping administrators make informed decisions and determine the best channel configuration to minimize interference and maximize network performance.
