What single tool, by design, can be used to verify channel selection, encryption in use, and number of APs above a specified signal threshold in a given location during deployment?
A WLAN scanner is a lightweight tool used during deployment and validation to verify channel utilization, detect SSIDs and APs, evaluate encryption schemes (e.g., WPA2/WPA3), and assess signal strength from APs in a particular area. It is not meant to perform in-depth frame analysis but provides a high-level overview.
From CWDP-305:
“WLAN scanners are useful tools for deployment validation and troubleshooting. They reveal AP signal strength, encryption in use, and can help verify if channel plans have been implemented correctly.”
