Complete Wired and Wireless Access Network Test Kit
Powerful handheld tools designed to quickly identify Wired and Wi-Fi problems
The Wired and Wireless Access Network Test Kit is designed for frontline IT professionals offering them the best tools for troubleshooting both wired and wireless network problems. For troubleshooting Wi-Fi, copper and fiber, this kit pairs the AirCheck G2 Wireless Tester with the LinkRunner G2 Smart Network Tester plus our complementary Link-Live cloud-based reporting along with the core handheld tools’ most common accessories. Both the AirCheck G2 and LinkRunner G2 of this kit were jointly recognized by committee in 2018 as Network Computing’s Bench Tested Product of the Year.
AirCheck G2 Wireless Tester
Wi-Fi is a complex technology, but testing it doesn’t have to be. AirCheck G2 Wireless Tester is purpose built for the front-line IT responders dispatched to the complaints of: The Wi-Fi is not working or the Internet is down. The AirCheck G2 Wireless Tester provides fast, simple, and accurate isolation and troubleshooting, thereby reducing the time to resolution of wireless issues.
There are many variables that lead to Wi-Fi complaints, ranging from network based problems and configuration issues to environmental or client device misconfigurations. Collecting all the key pieces of information the very first time is key to every front-line IT responder to resolve any complaint.
The AirCheck G2’s intuitive user interface and management platform provides actionable intelligence to not only remove the complexity of wireless troubleshooting but also helps speed up closure of the trouble ticket. The cost of not getting the job done right the first time, leading to an escalation team visit, leads to ineffective usage of the escalation team efforts and end-user dissatisfaction due to slow problem-solving response time. AirCheck G2 provides front-line IT with complete and accurate wireless information to solve problems right the first time, instead of blindly escalating them.
LinkRunner G2 Smart Network Tester
The LinkRunner G2 Smart Network Tester is a simple, comprehensive network validation and configuration platform that empowers network professionals responsible for device deployment and troubleshooting. LinkRunner streamlines workflows by combining the essential aspects of installation and triage in a single, ruggedized unit.
The LinkRunner G2 accelerates deployments and eliminates finger pointing by combining high-wattage PoE plus copper and fiber network connectivity testing with vendor apps on the Android OS. This creates a more effective installation and troubleshooting workflow. Using LinkRunner G2 technicians can: (1) Review installation documentation; (2) Test loaded PoE and network services; (3) Document the results; and (4) Use other vendor-specific apps to configure and triage connected devices.
For organizations challenged by the rapid growth of network-connected devices, this next-generation test tool enables IT professionals to accelerate deployments and speed problem identification, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of network operations.
Test results can be automatically uploaded to the encrypted and highly secure Link-Live results management database at the completion of each test, facilitating more collaboration between network engineers and technicians greater job visibility, project control, and fleet management.
These network testers both fully document your troubleshooting session and create professional-quality reports in Link-Live, a free cloud repository.
