I have been using a Nexus 7 for the past year on our network and it save me a lot of time for those quick checks. It's also a lot lighter to carry around campus than my big bulky laptop. I use all the same programs as already mentioned in the other post with the exception of one other one. JuiceSSH works real well for me when I need to get back to other servers or controllers in a CLI and I'm out in the field. Only drawback might be is that you wish you get the 10" over the 7".

I have a Google Nexus 10, that I purchased for the same purpose and have been very happy. I use 3 apps - inSSIDer , the Aruba app, and I bought Ekahau to do site surveys. The Aruba app seems a little flaky, but it works Ok. It gives me Aruba specific information. -Chris From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Merideth Drudge Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 2:29 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Android tablet for wifi analysis? Hello, We have been using laptops with wifi scanning software when checking out wireless issues, usually with inSSIDer or Netstumbler installed. I have been considering purchasing an Android tablet (like maybe a Google Nexus 7) for this purpose, and wondered if anyone else has used Android devices for wifi analysis. I see that there is a Android version of inSSIDer; has anyone used it, or have other apps that they recommend? How about other devices that have been useful? Thanks!
