Hello,
At the office, we have a Bluetooth speaker towards one end of the room. It generally works fine, though recently it's been crackling at times which we consider to be intermittent interference - someone uses a phone, microwave, etc.
I've looked at spectrum analyzers and the upshot I could figure was that you need a wireless dongle in order to scan/watch the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. We'd like to be able to monitor the area and see when the interference spikes, and ideally determine the direction.
I've looked at a number of tools and they basically only scan for actual devices - Bluetooth devices, AP routers, etc. We need something that would not only show those devices, but also extraneous signals from microwaves, phones, etc.
Is this possible with a standard laptop WiFi card (Centrino 6250) and Windows 10? Or would I need to buy a dongle ? (they get pricey!)
Thank you,
Hans
