This analysis helps network security specialists locate and eliminate rogue access points, avoid cross-channel interference, detect unauthorized workstations, and eliminate false-positive intrusion alerts. NetSpot also helps you check security settings, Wi-Fi signal strength, and non-broadcasting SSIDs.
