Wireless Tester ‑ Now with AirMapper™!
Overview
The AirCheck™ G2 Wireless Tester’s intuitive user interface provides actionable
intelligence, simplifying wireless troubleshooting and validation. AirCheck G2 is the most
cost-eective hardware-enabled site survey solution, and provides network professionals
of any skill level with complete and accurate information to validate Wi-Fi deployments
and changes, resolve connectivity and performance problems quickly, speed up closure
of trouble tickets, and ensure your Wi-Fi network meets end users’ needs.
• AirCheck G2 oers a one-button AutoTest function that quickly provides a pass/fail
indication of Wi-Fi network quality and identifies common problems
• Faster and easier Wi-Fi site surveys with AirMapperTM Site Survey
• Test the most common Wi-Fi standards (including 802.11ax) with a rugged, handheld,
purpose-built wireless tester
• See all networks and devices in your location immediately upon power up
DATA SHEET
• View test results, including network availability, connectivity, utilization, throughput,
security settings, possible rogues, and interferers
• Automate reporting and enable collaboration with result upload and management via
Link-Live Cloud Service
Key Features
AutoTest
AirCheck G2 performs the following five essential Wi-Fi tests and provides a pass/fail indication of
the wireless environment, as well as identifies common problems — for any level of expertise:
• 802.11 Utilization – Reports channels in each band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with
the highest airtime utilization. (Figure 1)
• Non-802.11 Utilization – Reports channels with the highest non-802.11 airtime

utilization, indicative of interference sources and high noise levels.
• Co-Channel Interference - Reports channels with the most APs on the same channel
that exceed the minimum signal level threshold.
• Adjacent Channel Interference - Reports interference on a channel caused by APs that
are operating on other channels that overlap with that channel.
Detailed AutoTest Results
• Network Quality – Verifies coverage, interference, security and ability to connect to
specified networks, along with the availability of critical network services such as DHCP
and connectivity to specified network targets. (Figure 2)
• Rogue Access Points - Reports APs other than your authorized devices. These devices
may be compromising network security.

AirMapper™ Site Survey App
With the AirMapper app, AirCheck G2 users can now quickly and easily gather location-based
Wi-Fi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in the Link-Live
Cloud Service or AirMagnet Survey PRO. Simple to use, the AirMapper app is ideal for quick site
surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification.
• Complete faster and easier Wi-Fi site surveys with an entirely mobile platform
• Perform enterprise-grade surveys without the need of a dongle or tethered device
• Collaborate—easily visualize and share survey data through Link-Live Cloud Service or
AirMagnet Survey PRO

Access Point Discovery
Quickly view all the APs present in the environment and see critical parameters for each one,
including signal level, signal/noise ratio, security type, and channel. Find common issues, such
as incorrect security type, poor signal coverage, or incorrect channel. (Figure 3)
Sort or filter by any parameter, then drill into any AP to set its authorization level and see more
details, including number of connected clients, supported rates, 802.11n/ac/ax capabilities and
more. From the AP details page, drill into a list of connected clients, or the channel on which the
AP operates, to verify any channel utilization or co-channel interference problems.
From here you can also use a locator tool to find an AP, set Access Control status (ACL), or you can
perform a packet capture.
Network Discovery
Quickly view all the networks present in the environment and see critical parameters for each
one, including signal level, signal/noise ratio, security type, and number of access points. Find
common issues such as mixed security types, poor signal coverage, or lack of secondary AP
coverage.
Sort or filter by any parameter, then drill into greater detail on any network, including 802.11
types supported, number of connected clients, channels, and more. From the network details
page, drill into a list of APs or clients on the network.
Wired Ethernet Tests
The AirCheck G2’s built-in Ethernet test validates that APs have a working back haul connection
to the network.
• Diagnose and test Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), link to the switch, DHCP, Gateway, and Internet
connections.
• Get VLAN, switch name, and port information via CDP/LLDP/EDP for your managed switches.
