Today I finally got around to making a video on how I use the Cisco Spectrum Expert application to find sources of interference, and how to tweak the settings in the application. I had to break the video into two parts since it ran 30 minutes long (!).
This is where I'm keeping all my notes related to my pursuit of Cisco's CCIE for wireless certification.

How to use Cisco Spectrum Expert (or at least how I use it)
I was chatting with @the_wifi_guy the other day and he asked me if I had any videos on how to use the Cisco Spectrum Expert application. I found an ancient video I recorded back in 2008 when it was called AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer. I edited out the customer specific information and posted it to YouTube. The video quality was bad and I barely covered the ins and outs of the application but I thought other people might get some use out of it.

Hi expert, i'm going to buy cisco spectrum expert. but what my problem is I can not buy any laptop with cardbus slot on the market.
ReplyDeleteI saw you work with an adapter, is it work fine? and what is the windows version in your laptop? I read the doc, cisco spectrum only support 32bit OS. I afraid I have to downgrade the OS from 64 bit to 32bit.
The adapter I have works fine, and I'm running the 32bit version of Windows 7.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to post your capture files so I can also have a look at it?
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to post the ccp files so I can have a look myself?
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteMay I ask which adapter you use? I can't seem to find one out there.
Thanks
This is the Addonics adapter I use with the Cisco SpectrumExpert card. I run Win7 32bit.
