Troubleshooting wireless LANs need not be expensive nor overly complicated, and yet trying to isolate problems without the right tools can make it so. If this is your challenge, consider a Wi-Fi adapter from Savvius.
Savvius offers Wi-Fi adapters, which are part of its OmniPeek network analysis software family, in two versions -- one for 802.11ac (available for $149, including a USB device with extension cable) and another for 802.11n (available for $79, including USB device with extension cable). You can also get a bundle comprising Savvius's OmniPeek network performance management software and either two 802.11ac adapters or three 802.11n adapters.
