Tools for troubleshooting the network
LAN Under Investigation
Conclusions
A high price gives rise to high expectations. In the case of the OneTouch AT not everyone will consider these expectations met. Although the device combines ease of use with a wide variety of useful tests, is flexibly configurable, and is still fairly portable and compact, it doesn't offer the kind of added value that a less expensive device, or even a solution with your laptop and free network-testing software (e.g., Wireshark, Nmap, Kismet), offers. Thus, it will be restricted to situations in which costs play a subordinate role or admins need to troubleshoot the network so often and intensively that a minor gain in convenience is worth a high price.
