Map signal strengths of one location using WiFi analyzer too

Map signal strengths of one location using Wi-Fi analyzer tools.

Download and install two software packages on a computer with a wireless card and in range of a wireless network. You can also use your mobile phone with similar apps - there are several free ones out there.

After installation, run each program independently and copy and paste a screen shot of a network scan into a Document and submit for grading. Include a statement about how each of these programs could help in deployment of a WLAN.
