Solve Wi-Fi Problems A Smarter Way…

The WifiBuilder Solution

WifiBuilder is the industry's first diagnostic and production Wi-Fi access point. A new type of wireless network tool that excels at determining your wireless network's best channel.

WifiBuilder is both a diagnostic tool AND a high-end, dual-band, 802.11N access point. Use it in diagnostic mode for troubleshooting and detecting RF interference that cripples the performance of your Wi-Fi network (using IMMI technology it computes which channel has the greatest available bandwidth). Or use it in production mode, configure the WifiBuilder access point to use the best channel for optimal performance and leave it in place -- for use as your normal AP.

WifiBuilder — Hardware and Software

Using The (802.11) Infrastructure To Troubleshoot The Infrastructure...

When troubleshooting an 802.11 network it is not possible to predict how it will behave when you are armed solely with RF measurements. This is why we focus on performance metrics and IMMI technology -- because they more accurately predict how your wireless network will actually perform.

Though RF spectrum analysis remains a popular tool for troubleshooting interference-related problems, IMMI technology holds greater promise since it excels at computing the best Wi-Fi channel. IMMI technology employs 802.11 hardware and sees the RF environment through the same eyes as the wireless devices in your network.

IMMI Technology & Wi-Fi Channel Analysis

Optimize Performance By Using The Best Wi-Fi Channel

When troubleshooting an 802.11 network it is not possible to predict how it will behave when you are armed solely with RF measurements. This is why we focus on performance metrics and IMMI (Indirect Measurement of Microwave Interference) technology -- because they more accurately predict how your wireless network will actually perform.

Though RF spectrum analysis remains a popular tool for troubleshooting interference-related problems, IMMI technology holds greater promise since it excels at computing the best Wi-Fi channel -- that is, the channel with the greatest available bandwidth and least affected by RF interference from other wireless devices.

Introducing WifiBuilder

The Industry’s First Diagnostic And Production Wi-Fi Access Point

WifiBuilder is the industry’s first diagnostic and production Wi-Fi access point. A new type of wireless network tool that excels at determining your wireless network’s best channel. WifiBuilder is both a diagnostic tool AND a high-end, dual-band, 802.11N access point. Use it in diagnostic mode for troubleshooting and detecting RF interference that cripples the performance of your Wi-Fi network (using IMMI technology it computes which channel has the greatest available bandwidth). Or use it in production mode, configure the WifiBuilder access point to use the best channel for optimal performance and leave it in place — for use as your normal AP.

Profiler24x is a Wi-Fi diagnostic tool used for installing, troubleshooting and monitoring 802.11 wireless networks in the 2.4x GHz band. It is unique in its use of an access point (WifiBuilder) in performing channel analysis. Employing patent-pending IMMI (Indirect Measurement of Microwave Interference) technology Profiler24x provides unprecedented visibility into the performance of a wireless network. The information collected and displayed by Profiler24x helps to simplify troubleshooting of interference-related problems and predicts bandwidth performance for each 802.11 channel.

WifiBuilder Diagnostic and Production Access Point

 

Why Use WifiBuilder ?

Running a custom Linux kernel, the WifiBuilder AP communicates with diagnostic applications that are run from your Windows desktop or laptop machine. These diagnostic applications are used for installing, troubleshooting and monitoring 802.11 wireless networks. That is, in addition to being used as your normal AP for wireless network communication, WifiBuilder is designed to be used as a diagnostic tool — performing data acquisition and communicating with a Windows application that analyzes the results and displays them using graphical charts. When the WifiBuilder AP is left in-place as your normal AP then its diagnostic capabilities are always available when the need arises.

Requirements

Minimum requirements for running Profiler24x

You need to install version 3.5, or above, of Microsoft’s .NET Framework before installing and running Profiler24x. Profiler24x runs on the following Microsoft operating systems: Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit).
