Why Wi-Spy?

MetaGeek's Wi-Spy might fit in your pocket, but this portable USB spectrum analyzer is loaded with big-time performance. The high-resolution and enhanced amplitude range make the Wi-Spy even easier for you to identify interference in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, or 5 GHz public ISM bands. With MetaGeek's compact spectrum analyzer, you can save time and money while installing, troubleshooting and managing your wireless networks.

Begin your troubleshooting at the Physical Layer.

Let's face it, the 2.4 GHz band is crowded. That's why wireless professionals need Wi-Fi tools that quickly isolate RF interference sources and identify the quietest available channel. MetaGeek's Wi-Spy is an easy-to-use tool designed for IT professionals and wireless network consultants who need a compact Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer to troubleshoot and optimize their wireless networks.

"We used the Wi-Spy DBx extensively across various venues as it was used to identify unauthorized access points and to map out our internal Wi-Fi coverage. It is a great tool that helps us trouble shoot more accurately and quickly! The Wi-Spy units work extremely well and I would use them at other large events, and all members of my staff really enjoyed having them in our “tool kit."
-Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games

"In 16 years of building and analyzing wireless networks, Wi-Spy is the best 'bang-for-the-buck' I've seen"
-Matt Wheeler Indigo Networks

"Metageek’s $799 $599 Wi-Spy DBx spectrum analyzer is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that lets you see the encumbering effects of other wireless networks and devices in your airspace."
-Joseph Moran, Wi-Fi Planet

"The DBx is the first Wi-Spy product to cover the 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz.) bands, which are of increasing importance with 802.11n deployments and the availability of low-cost dual-band Wi-Fi access points and adapters. The DBx is very easy to use - install the Chanalyzer 3 software from the Web, insert the dongle, and you're off.
-Craig Matthias, Network World

"The right answer for small companies looking for an additional tool in the belt or large companies looking to develop a specific platform that requires spectrum analytics."
-Andrew Garcia, eWeek

"It's a very cool and useful product that any network engineer must have."
-ZDNet
