Want to Love This

I really *want* to love this. The concept is great. Sadly, I couldn't get this to run at all- tried iPhone 4S->3GS as well as 4S->4S but couldn't get the 2 endpoints to communicate at all.

Passionate about anything networking

Fantastic app, perfect for simple wireless tests, nice innovation and perfect timing with this market segment currently exploding. Just tested it on my home wireless network between my iPad and iPhone and learnt something about my coverage in seconds! Make sure one device has transmitter turned off and the other has transmitter turned on. The unit with transmitter " on " has to have the ip address of the " off " unit loaded in the provided window. This ip address is displayed on the " off " device. Also you have to press start on both devices otherwise you get a " no connection notice.

Be nice to see reporting added at some stage maybe with time, location, signal strength and speed.

This is a great tool!

Have you ever wondered what your true WiFi bandwidth is over the wireless LAN between two iOS devices? This tool gives you the answer! I've run this tool on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone4, iTouch, iPad, and iPad2 as I'm roaming the wireless LAN and can view signal strength impact on data throughput in real-time. I've used it to troubleshoot WLAN performance issues and discovered that not all wireless access points are createded equal. Great job Enterasys; I look forward to future updates and more features!
