While reading Priscilla's book on Campus Area Network Troubleshooting, which is an excellent book that I highly recommend, it and other sources state that the Packet Error Rate should be measured for a WLAN. The problem is I cannot find anything at a reasonable price to use to measure such a thing for a WLAN. For example, I see on the WaveRider web site, they are a maker of wireless equipment, that they have a nice little tool that shows both RSSI and Packet Error Rate. But this is only for their own equipment. Is there a software tool for a laptop that will do this for an 802.11b WLAN? You can more or less do this with Wild Packet's AiroPeek. A tool by Berkeley Varitronics Systems called YellowJacket will also do this. But both of these are expensive. Does anyone know of something less expensive?
