The MetaGeek App is the culmination of MetaGeek’s best work in Layer 2 wireless troubleshooting. Enhance and streamline your wireless network performance and resolve roaming issues with ease. Blending the best of Chanalyzer, Eye P.A. and inSSIDer into a single tool for fast comprehensive analysis of any Wi-Fi network, MetaGeek App also adds automatic event detection, intelligent client following, and a bunch of other useful capabilities never seen before in a MetaGeek product.
While Eye P.A. is amazing, it focuses on post-capture analysis. Many customers have told us about their frustrations with existing Wi-Fi packet capture tools - frustrations that cost time and money, such as:
- Capturing involves multiple manual steps
- Almost zero instrumentation during the capture
- No idea what frames you captured
- You have to scroll massive lists of packets to find events
- Packet exchanges are hard to filter down to and read
- Process is too complicated for a junior tech on site
- Capturing roaming events is a nightmare
- Multi-channel setups are complicated
The primary design goal of the MetaGeek App was to create a "what you see is what you get" packet capture that made it easy and obvious to the user that the desired event was captured, and then be able to export a small pcap file for deeper analysis in other tools like Eye P.A., Wireshark, or OmniPeek.
MetaGeek App performs real-time packet analysis, leveraging beautiful visualizations to remove mental obstacles and promote understanding of technical issues, so the user can resolve network problems. It focuses on real-time 802.11 frame analysis, and can use a Wi-Spy for spectrum analysis to give the user a complete look at their wireless landscape.
