Low cost Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer

MetaGeek, LLC makes a low cost Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer called the Wi-Spy. It comes in handy when troubleshooting interference problems in the 802.11 b/g/n frequency range. Sure is doesn’t have all of the features of the BumbleBee Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer at US$2500, and it won’t be a 802.11 wireless technicians only tool, but instead a low cost (US$200) addition to their wireless toolset. For me it has been useful for detecting microwave oven and wireless telephone interference on several wireless networks that I have troubleshooted. I also picked one up when they were still going for US$99.
