Download TamoGraph Site Survey
To perform passive surveys, you must have a compatible Wi-Fi adapter. You will need to use a special driver that comes with this product to enable the monitoring features of your compatible Wi-Fi adapter. For certain adapters (Intel, Broadcom, Dell) the driver will be installed automatically; for other adapters, you will be prompted to install it using an installation wizard. If your adapter is not on the list, take advantage of our special offer and get a compatible adapter free of charge!
To perform active surveys, you can use any modern Wi-Fi adapter. However, active surveys give you only a small part of the WLAN picture. To get comprehensive information, passive surveys are mandatory.
