Life can be hard if your World of Warcraft session comes to a grinding halt when the neighbors decide it's a good time to microwave a turkey. Of course this can all be prevented if you were to scope out the airwaves before implementing your WiFi, and now MetaGeek has an affordable way to help you do just that.
Enter the $99 Wi-Spy, a 2.4GHz spectrum analyzer that works in harmony with a small USB dongle to show traffic and interference on all the channels to help you decide which is most clear for your own network. Because it runs off the computer, sessions can be exported and imported for analysis with the pros as well. You can view some sample recordings by downloading the demo off their website.About Everything USB
