ABSTRACT
The present work proposes a methodology for evaluating building Wi-Fi networks using a spectrum analyzer alongside Wi-Fi network analysis tools. The Agilent CSA Spectrum Analyzer, model N1996A-506, and the tools ManageEngine OpManager and PRTG Professional Wi-Fi Analyzer will be used to measure the Wi-Fi signal of an academic building. The collected Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) data will be imported and modeled in Python code to generate heatmaps that visually represent the quality of the Wi-Fi network coverage. The results obtained from the tools will be compared with those obtained from the analyzer to verify the accuracy and reliability of the reports generated by the tools.
