Wi-Spy 2.4Ghz Spectrum Analyzer v2
Sale! Limited to stock on hand
The Wi-Spy™ 2.4x is a small portable USB device designed for IT professionals. It scans and displays all activity in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. It helps to quickly identify interference, find the quietest channel, and analyze the quality of the signal. Save time and money by setting up your wireless network right the first time.
The Wi-Spy 2.4x helps visualize your wireless landscape ? and a big part of that is our Chanalyzer software that turns Wi-Spy data into interactive graphs that make analyzing, troubleshooting, and optimizing your wireless networks a breeze. Chanalyzer 3.2 is included with Wi-Spy 2.4x at no additional cost.
Plugged into a computer, the Wi-Spy 2.4x will track all the radio activity from:
- Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n)
- Microwave Ovens
- Cordless Telephones
- Zigbee
- Radio
- Bluetooth
- Other electronics in the 2.4 GHz spectrum
"Wi-Spy is probably the cheapest and easiest to use of all budget wireless analyzers out there."

Chanalyzer Software:
Chanalyzer turns data collected from a Wi-Spy into highly interactive charts and graphs, allowing users to ?visualize? their wireless landscape. Together, Wi-Spy and Chanalyzer enable both enterprise and small business users to visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize their Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) networks.
This software records real-time data for review later or remotely. Use Chanalyzer for effective explanations on how you will optimize a customer's wireless network. You can also troubleshoot without leaving your desk by installing our new Recon application, a simple Wi-Spy 2.4x data server. Connect to it remotely from any location within Chanalyzer.
Chanalyzer lets you look at Wi-Fi Channel Reports, SSID Overlay and all Wireless Devices. Specifically three different views are available to help troubleshoot issues with Wi-Fi networks:
- Spectral View: Highlights bandwidth use over time with a scrolling ?waterfall graph? that plots the selected time period against the frequency range, with each point color-coded by the signal?s amplitude. Read More
- Topographic View: A spectrum utilization map that shows the density of the spectrum by plotting the percentage of activity for each frequency and amplitude over a selected time period. Read More
- Planar View: Shows current, average and maximum amplitudes _ providing a real-time look at the current signal strength. Read More
Features of Chanalyzer Software:
- Wi-Fi Integration: Information such as SSID, Channel and dBm are overlayed on the 2.4 GHz data. (This does not use the Wi-Spy 2.4x. It uses the computer WiFi card) Video Tutorial
- Networked Wi-Spy: Connect to a Wi-Spy through an IP address. (See Recon for Wi-Spy Video Tutorial)
- Configuration Options: Zoom into a channel with greater resolution, for detailed troubleshooting.
- Signature Identification: A ?Signatures? sidebar makes it easy to match the shape appearing in your graph to the device signature (from MetaGeek?s growing Signatures Library) _ so you can identify the interference. Video Tutorial
- Data Inspector: Shows frequency, amplitude, time, and other data of any point in any view.
- Embedded Notes: Textual information can now be added to any recording by embedding user notes. Video Tutorial

Software Tools available in addition to the Chanalyzer (Windows):
- Spectrum-Tools: Mike Kershaw, author of Kismet, has developed an open source version of the Wi-Spy software that runs on Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X. This application has most of the features of the original Wi-Spy software for Windows. This software is open source and uses the GTK library (supports Wi-Spy and Wi-Spy 2.4x).
- EaKiu: Open GL Based MacOS X tools providing interactive 3-D dispalys as well as the standard spectrum analyzer and spectrogram views.
- VisiWave: Advanced Site Survey tool running on Windows.
- iSite accelerates WLAN survey and design while simplifying network management. Requiring minimal knowledge of Radio Frequency (RF) engineering, iSite implements an easy to use windows user interface and supports most WLAN adaptors.
