AirMagnet Survey Initial Setup
AirMagnet itself is a little clunkier than Ekahau or the simpler NetSpot program that we use. It's an older interface. Once you get used to it, it's not a big deal to move around. Once somebody is trained, it's not a problem to set AirMagnet up on our systems and calibrate it.

Setup is very easy, very straightforward just download the new software and license and you are good to go.
It is worth mentioning that you need to delete the current version of software you are using before installing a newer version.
View full review »When we first got AirMagnet back in 2005, I had a Fujitsu laptop. It was convertible to a tablet. We got the product purchased. I installed it and was doing surveys within a couple of hours. It's very straightforward. I've not had a lot of trouble with it.
Again, I've been working with it for 12 years. I'm familiar with it. Sometimes, I'm a little rusty, so it takes a little while to figure out how to do a survey again, but it's not that difficult.
View full review »Setup is a little complex, not because of any issues but because of the nature of the beast. You have to know a lot of different things to make it work properly, but that might just be because the software is complex. Not in a bad way; there's just a lot of things you have to know. A few more wizards for setup would help us not forget things. It’d be nice to have a wizard that asked if you are doing certain channels or both bands, etc.
View full review »It was straightforward and easy. The training piece is an ongoing issue, in that the software does have a lot of functions. Getting comfortable with all those functions has been time consuming. We only uswe the software maybe four or five times a year, so we just chalk it up to not using the software enough.
View full review »Installation is very simple, you just need to register the software key on the AirMagnet web account, then download and install the software on your PC, every time clicking the "Next" button.

Setup is straightforward. Overall setup can be straightforward or complex depending on the users knowledge of WiFi. Under educated users can setup, use, and get good information, but setup can get very complex for advanced engineers to troubleshoot advanced issues.

View full review »Application setup was straightforward. I ran into a lot of discrepancies with our corporate laptop image, so I had to use a bare-bones machine with no other software on it.
View full review »The setup was easy. That's one of the reasons everybody is using AirMagnet. It is easy to set up, easy to operate.
View full review »Initial setup is pretty darn straightforward. I've run into some issues with licensing. During an upgrade, it periodically tends to lose its license, which is an extra step you have to go through to re-download and install that license over again.

The initial setup is extremely straightforward. One of the things, now years and years ago, was that it might have been a bit difficult to implement, however, these days, it's very easy. Today, as in this version, it has an extremely straightforward setup.

View full review »The initial setup was straightforward.
View full review »Setup was pretty straightforward, but it does take a fair amount of time to understand everything that you're doing. That's the only thing I can say. There's a lot of great features in there, but unless you play around with it for quite some time, you're not going to know what those features are. As far as a basic survey goes, you can be up and running and doing one of those in a day, but to really give the customer a real good insight onto either design or maybe some issues with the current install, you have to know where to find that information in the software and provide that for them.
It's all there, but it does take a little bit of time. As you go through multiple projects, you start to learn where those features are.

It is very straightforward to implement, the only issue is if you change wi-fi for the MAC address.

The initial setup was fairly easy to do.
View full review »During initial setup, there were some difficulties recognizing the proxim 8494 using the AirMagnet driver, so the software wouldn’t run (because the licence is tied to it).
