    For the whole pre-populating idea:

    Basically let use identify our AP’s by either labeling them after they are detected, or by supplying a list of know AP’s before the scan. If we know that these specific AP’s are in an area to be scanned we could give netspot a list containing BSSID = AP hostname, for each AP.

    That way when we go to place the detected AP’s in our documentation, or other tools, we know the hostname at a glance instead of having to do a BSSID to hostname lookup outside of netspot.

    I don’t know about everyone else but when I am working with or discussing an AP I refer to it by it’s hostname, not the SSID or the BSSID of the radio(s).

    Thank you for being open to ideas for improvement. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you for providing these details. Data import for APs’ naming is surely a great feature for Wi-Fi professional. We are discussing these now with the team.

    This is similar to the last old thread I just brought up, but slm, I ended up just using a Bing Map screenshot (the large outdoor area I need to survey has a terrible map in Google Maps) and it works pretty well. When I re-survey the area soon (adding more AP’s), I’ll be brightening and contrast-enhancing it, but regardless – it worked well.

    The reason I bring this thread up, is that you mentioned the ability to define multiple SSID’s as belonging to the same AP. Would a feature like this work to have:

    User enters a list of AP’s they’re surveying, with a unique name for the AP, and *all* BSSID’s associated with that AP?
