Air Quality — Checks for Wi-Fi and non Wi-Fi utilization by channel, plus co-channel interference.
Ad Hoc Networks — Identify AP’s that are configured in Ad Hoc mode since they could be a security risk.
Network Quality — Verify coverage, interference, security and ability to connect to specified networks.
Rogue Access Points — Identify AP’s not listed in the profile.
Profiles — AutoTests are user configurable and based on the multiple profiles which can be stored in AirCheck G2 and selected for different sites or requirements. Results may also be stored for export to AirCheck G2 Manager or saved on the cloud using Link-Live.Supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac - All in one handheld tool for all Wi-Fi technologies including true 802.11ac 3x3 support.
Description
Wi-Fi is a complex technology, but testing it doesn’t have to be. The NetScout AirCheck-G2 Wireless tester is purpose built for the front-line IT responders dispatched to the complaints of: The Wi-Fi is not working or the Internet is down. The AirCheck-G2 Wireless Tester provides fast, simple, and accurate isolation and troubleshooting, thereby reducing the time to resolution of wireless issues.
There are many variables that lead to Wi-Fi complaints, ranging from network based problems and configuration issues to environmental or client device misconfigurations. Collecting all the key pieces of information the very first time is key to every front-line IT responder to resolve any complaint.
The AirCheckG2 and its intuitive user interface and management platform provides actionable intelligence to not only remove the complexity of wireless troubleshooting but also helps speed up closure of the trouble ticket. The cost of not getting the job done right the first time, leading to an escalation team visit, leads to ineffective usage of the escalation team efforts and end-user dissatisfaction due to slow problem-solving response time. AirCheck G2 provides front-line IT with complete and accurate wireless information to solve problems right the first time, instead of blindly escalating them.
Overview
AirCheck-G2 integrates all Wi-Fi technologies plus interference detection, channel scanning, and connectivity tests. The one-button AutoTest and instant access to detailed information provides fast troubleshooting for the most common Wi-Fi pain points, including:
Coverage problems
Overloaded networks or channels
Channel interference
Connectivity problems
Failed access points
Rogue access points
Client problems
Networks
Find security issues, rogue APs and coverage problems and view a list of all wireless networks heard by AirCheck-G2. Instantly see the following for each network:
Signal level
Security / encryption
Number of APs in network
SSID name
Type of network
Access Points
Find configuration and coverage problems as well as rogue APs. View a list of all physical APs heard by AirCheck-G2 or clients connected to a specific AP, and see the following:
Channel
Signal level
AP name or MAC address
SSID name (or count of SSIDs for virtual APs)
Security / encryption
Type of network
Channel Usage
Quickly determine if channels are overloaded due to Wi-Fi traffic (displayed in blue) or interference (displayed in gray). Verify channel-usage pattern or overlap and flag illegal use of channels.
With AirCheck-G2, you can also detect the presence of interference. Devices that can cause interference include microwave ovens, cordless phones and headsets, Bluetooth devices, and analog video cameras.
Drill in further to see the level of Wi-Fi traffic and interference over the last 60 seconds on a selected channel, as well as the access points using this channel.

Locate Access Points and Clients
Track down rogue and other APs or clients by graphing the signal strength over time, or by using an audible indication which can be muted.
Client Details
Quickly identify AP configuration problems. View the following information for each physical AP:
Signal-to-noise ratio
SSID and BSSID
ACL status, security and encryption
Connect
Verify network availability and access by connecting to a network (SSID) or specified AP using three simple steps:
Associate with AP
Request IP address from DHCP server
PING gateway, DHCP server and user-defined addresses
TCP port connectivity
View the process steps on the display and store them in a log for troubleshooting. Quickly test performance and quality of the connection by using the continuous ping response, loss-rate, and connection-range features.

Diagnose and test Power over Ethernet (PoE), Link to the switch, DHCP, Gateway, and Internet connection
Get VLAN, switch name, and port information via CDP/LLDP/EDP for your managed switches
Automated reporting to Link-Live Cloud Service
Get detailed test results sent directly to your email
Link-Live Cloud Service
Once the AirCheck-G2 is connected to the Link-Live Cloud service, basic network connectivity test results are automatically uploaded to the dashboard for project management and reporting. This internet-hosted service is available from anywhere at any time using any device with a browser and internet connection. It is especially useful for managers of remote teams that need visibility to test results instantly. In addition, teams that utilize the wired only companions to the AirCheck-G2 such as the LinkSprinter, or LinkRunner have a single dashboard system to manage results from network connectivity tests.
AirCheck-G2Manager Software
The AirCheck G2 Manager Software provides the ability to manage AirCheck G2 profiles and view detailed information on saved tests results. The AirMagnet Manager is free and available for download to any computer from the Link-Live Cloud Service.
Profiles
Easily configure, manage, and control the use of your AirCheck G2 — or an entire fleet of them — with the Profiles feature, which allows configuration of security settings, AutoTest limits, and target devices for connectivity. Name and transfer multiple profiles into AirCheck G2, as needed for different facilities. Profiles are password protected, eliminating worry about unauthorized access to your network if your AirCheck G2 is lost or stolen.
Record Sessions
You can easily view detailed information about networks, access points, channels, or clients on the AirCheck G2 Manager Software by viewing a saved session file. The session files will capture details including AirCheck G2 configuration, AutoTest results, lists of AP’s / clients and channel usage.
