CTS 220: WLAN Pi & Python Scripting




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> What tools come to mind when you’re doing remote troubleshooting? Have you ever used a WLAN Pi? In this episode, François and I did a live stream on the <a href="https://youtube.com/cleartosend" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CTS YouTube channel</a>, highlighting the capabilities of the WLAN Pi.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Some tools are just out of reach in terms of cost. The WLAN Pi is affordable and packs a lot of tools. <br> <br> <br> <br> The reason for the live stream was to show how I was able to use the WLAN Pi, which was hosted at François’ house, to get a remote view of the Wi-Fi networks around him. <br> <br> <br> <br> Even better, I was able to load the information in WiFi Explorer as a remote sensor, giving us that visual look of the environment.<br> <br> <br> <br> Near the end of our live stream, François shares his <a href="https://github.com/francoisverges/semfio-mist/tree/master/Setup-APoS-AP" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Python scripts</a> used with Mist to configure an access point for APoS operations. It’s worth checking out the live stream if you want to see it in action.<br>
