Professional Wi-Fi Analysis Hardware (Airpcap)Īirpcap cards by Riverbed support Monitor Mode. Some wireless card drivers may not provide correct information on signal strength or broadcasting channel, limiting their use for Wi-Fi coverage mapping.įor an up-to-date list of supported devices, visit our support section at: 1.2.1.2. These are standard wireless cards which have been verified to work using the NDIS driver included in Acrylic Wi-Fi Heatmaps to capture wireless network traffic on Monitor Mode. Wi-Fi hardware supporting Monitor Mode on Windows is affordable and commercially available. Monitor Mode compatible Wi-Fi Hardware (NDIS) To operate on Monitor Mode, there are two groups of wireless cards supported by Windows: 1.2.1.1. The selection of the Wi-Fi adapter is an important task to ensure both dependability and long term data validation. It is possible to use multiple Wi-Fi devices simultaneously, being one of them connected to a Wi-Fi network to obtain connection related information, such as latency, bandwidth, and roaming values (active site survey), while a second adapter can be set to work on normal mode or Monitor Mode to collect information and operating parameters on other Wi-Fi networks within range (passive site survey). On Monitor Mode, Acrylic Wi-Fi Heatmaps is able to extend its data capturing capabilities, providing the additional feature of displaying all client devices connected to a wireless network access points, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
When a wireless card is operating on Native Capture Mode, it reveals the Wi-Fi signaling packets sent by the access points. Moreover, Acrylic Wi-Fi Heatmaps operates on an advanced capture mode called Monitor Mode, also known as Promiscuous Mode that offers a series of additional features when performing the measurements.
Configurations and Aditional FeaturesĪcrylic Wi-Fi Heatmaps supports the use of any commercially available wireless card by making use of Windows native mechanisms to perform Wi-Fi measurements. Performing a site survey and viewing the results Running Acrylic Wi-Fi Heatmaps for the first time
