Alex – NetSpotKeymasterThe next version will have this issue fixed. Hold on everyone
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterJim, I emailed you the latest beta. Enjoy. We just need to polish a few things before this release goes public.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterHi Jim, will this help?
/help/how-do-i-group-networks-pro/
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterUnfortunately not. We are very careful about not adding any features that could shift NetSpot’s clean profile from being a perfect wireless site survey tool into a shady sniffer or cracking app that could be easily prohibited in leading countries.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterSpeed test use standard HTTP port, so this shouldn’t be the issue. Can you send us an internal report after you experience this error again, using “Ask a question” option on the toolbar?
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterHi Paul, we are somewhat doubtful about this feature. While aliases are saved in your survey project and easily transferred with it, Discover mode only provides a momentarily snapshot of networks around you, and that may change. We’ll keep this idea on the list.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterIt’s not IPERF currently. NetSpot exchanges some data with scripts hosted at netspotapp.com, so you might want to check if the website is available from the network you surveyed.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterOnce we finish improved export now, we will most probably proceed with this one. Stay tuned. We are doing our best…
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterHi Jeff, here’s one of the articles that might provide you with the hints you are looking for: /help/tips-and-hints-running-a-wireless-site-survey/
When starting a new survey, one of the settings is the Zone Area Type. This setting regulates how large the green radius circle is around each measurement point during a survey. Please select the correct setting for your area to minimize the number of samples you need to take, and increase the accuracy of your results.
In fact, we emailed you a day or two ago with the same recommendation, I guess you haven’t received our reply.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterSeems like I need to send you the beta version of NetSpot 2.1 when it’s ready, and we’ll proceed from there.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterRalph said: Like accesspoint details
In fact, these details are already exported. We will add export of vendor info per AP. Let me know if there’s a specific setting we are missing here.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterI don’t think it’s even possible to install a Mac OS X DMG file on iPad. I can’t imagine what you did and what exactly happens with your iPad now. Please send a screenshot.
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterHi Ralph…
#1: Let’s call it “joining zone snapshots”… planned.
#2: Adding notes to the survey was on the roadmap long ago. We’ll definitely add the feature. Not sure about lines though…
#3: We are testing NetSpot 2.1 with Advanced Export features, I’ll email you the link when the version is more stable.Thank you for keeping in touch :)
Alex – NetSpotKeymastergjherbiet said: Would you mind sharing your netpsd file as I don’t get how you created “zone surveys” ?
Zone surveys are easily created using the Snapshots feature.
gjherbiet said: Maybe Alex you have a recommendation on how to do, as easily as possible, an AP-on-a-stick survey (when you move a single AP over a building) with NetSpot and particularly how to exploit and merge the obtained results.
Ralph did this in a totally manual way, which we can’t recommend officially, other than as a completely custom workaround. Unfortunately, NetSpot doesn’t feature network planning yet. But we definitely have this on a roadmap. Additionally, what will actually help you achieve the desired results according to your scenario is a feature of joining data from several snapshots into one. It’s not that accurate as it could be, but good enough for a basic area polling. We will implement this into NetSpot 2.x asap.
Thank you!
Alex – NetSpotKeymasterI emailed you the beta version with the fix.
