2. Collect necessary tools.
Get a WiFi survey tool or software. There are various free and commercial options available, such as
Ekahau, NetSpot and Acrylic Wi-Fi Home.
3. Prepare the survey environment.
Make sure that the WiFi network is working. Make sure that in the survey area are not any objects or
interference sources that may aect signal propagation, such as large metal objects or other elec-
tronic devices.
4. Congure survey settings.
Set the parameters in the survey tool based on your requirements. Select the appropriate frequency
bands (2.4 GHz), set the channel width and specify the survey duration.
5. Do the survey.
Walk through the survey area by following a systematic path, while the survey tool records the WiFi
signal strength and other relevant data. Take note of the specic locations where measurements are
taken.
6. Analyze the survey data.
After the survey is completed, use features of the survey tool to analyze the collected data. Look
for areas with low signal strength, high interference, or excessive co-channel and adjacent-channel
interference. Identify potential sources of interference or coverage gaps.
7. Take corrective measures.
Based on the survey results, take necessary actions to optimize the WiFi network. You may have to
adjust access point placement, modify channel assignments, install additional access points or install
additional repeaters to improve coverage.
8. Repeat the WiFi survey if necessary.
If important changes are made to the network infrastructure or if you want further optimization, do
additional surveys to evaluate the eectiveness of the modications.
To get accurate results use professional tools which are intended for WiFi surveys. We recommend that you
consult with a wireless network specialist or professional if you want in-depth analysis or troubleshooting
assistance. Take into consideration that the WiFi environment is by nature changing, so it can change dur-
ing the life cycle of the charging system.
