2G4 Scope

The widespread use of WLAN means that many WLAN networks operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band interfere with one another. Furthermore, the 2.4 GHz band is not used exclusively by WLAN; a wide range of electrical devices, such as motion detectors, baby monitors and microwaves, as well as alternative transmission technologies like Bluetooth, utilise this frequency range and can interfere with WLAN. When performing automatic channel selection, the customer’s WLAN routers only take existing third-party routers into account, but not sources of interference. As a result, end customers are often unable to identify why their internet connection is not achieving the promised download speeds and report a fault to their network operator.

The ARGUS 2G4 Scope can be used to locate interference signals in real time. The ARGUS 2G4 Scope is a passive device and does not affect the WLAN. In addition to typical sources of interference, it can also identify which channel existing routers are currently using. In the case of a persistent, unresolvable source of interference, it is possible, for example, to determine which WLAN channel is furthest away from the source of interference and will therefore cause the least disruption to your own WLAN network.
