What’s new in Chanalyzer 5?
Waterfall Navigation
Did you know that Chanalyzer 4 even had recording navigation? Yeah, it wasn't obvious or easy to use. Waterfall Navigation in Chanalyzer 5 makes spotting interference and fast-forwarding to it simple and easy.
Dual-Band Mode
With Chanalyzer 5, you no longer need to scan an environment twice if you want to get both 2.4 and 5 GHz readings. With a Wi-Spy DBx, you can view and record both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands at the same time.
802.11ac Support
With a Wi-Spy DBx and any dual-band Wi-Fi adapter, Chanalyzer 5 fully supports visualizing 802.11ac networks.
Device Finder
Can’t find that old wireless video camera or analog cordless phone that is destroying your network? Track down and eliminate non-Wi-Fi interference quickly with Device Finder in Chanalyzer 5. Add a Device Finder directional antenna for increased speed and accuracy.
MetaCare
