Xirrus products are recognized in the industry as powerful Wi-Fi solutions with robust capacity and performance. Xirrus Wi-Fi Monitor widget is a useful tool for anyone deploying and operating Wi-Fi.

 

Some of the noted features of Xirrus Wi-Fi Monitor Widget include, a Graphical radar display of all Wi-Fi networks in range and their relative distance, detailed information on all Wi-Fi networks in range on flyout windows, a display of current Wi-Fi adapter IP and MAC addresses, details on current connection signal strength with 2 minute history, 9 different color skins, and a summary view when docked and expanded for view on the desktop.

 

Xirrus Wi-Fi Monitor is a powerful tool for both end users and IT managers to monitor, secure, and troubleshoot their Wi-Fi networks. Xirrus launched the Wi-Fi Monitor gadget for Windows Vista in late 2007 and for Windows XP last week.

 

The company says that this Widget provides much greater visibility into the Wi-Fi operation of a user's laptop and the surrounding environment than what is available by default from the operating system.
