Overview
When installing a WLAN for an organization, areas of dead space might not be tolerated. Site
survey is a process of planning a WLAN to meet design goals. Effectiveness of a WLAN often
linked to thoroughness of the site survey. Site surveys help achieve best possible performance
from WLAN, certify that installation will operate as promised, and determine best location for
APs. Manual site survey requires carrying around a laptop with dedicated network software.

, Lab 10: Wi-Fi Site Survey
The purpose of this Lab is to carry out a site survey to validate performance in the real world.
Students will learn how to build and prepare a professional site survey reports, analyse the
recorded data, and study the WiFi characteristics of the tested networks.
Learning Objective
Upon completion of this lab, students will be able to:
Understand how Site survey can be used for optimising and troubleshooting Wi-Fi
networks.
Demonstrate the use of network software tools to perform WiFi site survey
Understand the relationship between signal strength, channel numbers and interference.
Carryout a Field test recording and analyzing the Signal strength, Channels in use, and
other parameters to better comprehend the impact of terrain, building infrastructure and
distance on handoff and coverage.
Map the Wi-Fi coverage at the location – in this Centennial Progress Campus.
Equipment required
1 Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 or 10
One Wi-Spy DBx USB-connected spectrum analysis hardware adapter
Wi Spy Chanalyzer visualization software
Procedure
Task 1: Field Tests
1. Each member of the team will need to make at least 4 runs for the Field tests. All tests
should be done outside the lab A3-63. Do a campus wide walk and select 4 blocks at
Centennial College Progress campus for the field tests.
2. Sign out one Lenovo laptop and one Chanalyzer tool box. Make sure to return the
laptop and the Chanalyzer box before the end of your lab time.
