They really need to integrate the mapper with the design centre. And they need to do it with 3D. I want to place an AP in the centre of my house and then map out ever level…. Then import that heat map into design centre and adjust and add stuff to it
If you have a Macbook, the Wifi Explorer app is a lot cheaper than this thing, gives you all the same info and can show detailed info for every AP that it can see.
If you already have UniFi AP’s you can scan the environment and do an analysis. Does this work better?
Regarding the 6GHz Support:
The MediaTek MT7931AN chipset in the WiFiMan Wizard only supports 2.4 and 5GHz with one antenna stream.
MediaTek itself states that it only has 2.4 and 5GHz support.
If they invest heavily in survey they can leverage the iPhone lidar and use this to make a digital twin of the floor plan plus WiFi coverage
Thanks.
Does this require a UDM to work or will it work standalone?
Looks like a cool toy, but another incomplete (and unavailable) solution from ubiquity...
It looks like it doesn't do much (if anything) more than a mac based wifi spectrum analyzer like Wifi Explorer ($19). It is more portable than walking around with your laptop I guess and overcomes the iphone limitation of only being able to scan one wifi connection at a time.
I might pick one up anyway if they are ever back in stock for the size convenience, but its not like we are missing out too badly on the lack of availability on this one.
you`re a wizard Harry
Does this also allow you to scan channels without being connected to WiFi? Like being on 4G and using the Wizard to see which channels are most occupied in your enviroment.
Connected or not probably makes no difference because the info not come from wi-fi modem but from a bluetooth device. But in Android you can scan all channels while connect to a wi-fi network or not, whatever.
I test with a Laptop or Phone - that's what will be used daily and matters most. Interesting gadget though!
what is the android app?
Are there apps other than WiFiMan on Android? Are you planning to do a video of WiFiMan on Android?
I want to see what it adds to WiFiman on Android.
Nothing. Wifiman does the exact same thing. Even the interface seems like a ripoff.
@@jeroensum9445 There's literally a section in WiFiman on Android for the Wizard, so I want to see what it does differently, like if it goes to a page with this stupid Wizard spectrum graph.
I'm a Android user and I'm interested in the Wizard because the signal update in Android are very slow, about 5 seconds between each new signal read.
@@ThiagoNunesRS Yeah, you can turn that off. Developer options\Wi-Fi scan throttling.
@@JacksonCampbell Yes, I know this option. W-Fi Scan Throttling is very very worse than this. It limits the scan by an third part app to 4 times each 2 minutes.
Even with scan throttling disabled I get an signal update about 5 seconds. If wizard do it one time per second it will acelerate my work in 5 times!
Whats the best app for android?
I use the WIfiMan most often but use also the "Wifi Analyzer (open source)". It has no adds and also has some useful filter tools.
Can you make video of that netally device??
Yup I will be just need to wait for my new device to get here
Which android app do you recommend?
WiFiman
@@JacksonCampbell thank you
I also like "WiFi Analyzer (open source)".
Why do these instruments cost so much? 10K? How does a hobbyist get around all this expensive equipment? Does the company you work for cover it?
The WIFIman wizard isnt much its like $120 the other wifi gear I have is more expensive. I own the company but netally gave me one for free to do videos on
I'm trying place multiple ap in a whole town of about 250 acres
Could you give me an idea on how I can go about it
How could any business afford the ekahau?!
"How could you afford not to have one! If you aren't using ekahau you don't know what you are doing!"
I mean I use netally lol Ekahau looks nice. If you're doing this for a living it pays for it self imo
Pronounced "Ek a how". Also with an android you can use your built in antenna the same as this. In contrast a real spectrum analyser will show you the noise floor and all noise signal strengths. This is kind of unimpressive honestly.
Just get a $100 Android tablet.
Information update on Android are slow. I use Android and I'm also interested in this little wizard.
Cool toy for poor Apple users...
