Driver Installation

TamoGraph is a tool for monitoring wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n networks. To conduct passive surveys, you must have a compatible wireless adapter to use this product. In order to enable the monitoring features of your wireless adapter, you will need to use the special drivers that come with this product. Note that some adapters are compatible only if you use Windows Vista or Windo

ws 7 or Windows 8.

When TamoGraph is not running, your adapter will be able to communicate with other wireless hosts or APs, just like when you are using the original driver supplied by the adapter manufacturer. When TamoGraph is running, your adapter will be put in passive, promiscuous monitoring mode.

Note that integrated adapters by Intel, Broadcom, and Dell do NOT require special driver installation by the user; the driver that works alongside the original vendor's driver will be automatically installed by TamoGraph when you launch the program for the first time.

Prior to installing the new driver for your wireless adapter, be sure that your adapter is compatible with this product.  The list of compatible adapters can be found at the following URL:

For detailed, illustrated driver installation instructions, please launch the program and click Help => Driver Installation Guide in the program’s menu.

If you use CommView for WiFi, another TamoSoft product, you do not need to install or change the driver, as TamoGraph and CommView for WiFi share the same drivers.
