We want to measure WiFi usage on our WiFi Subnet by the following categories:

Monthly usage total
Usage brake down by user
Monthly bandwidth usage by SSID

I have 5 SSID's in a campus arrangement. Each SSID's cluster of AP's runs to a 3750 edge switch. All edge switches runs to a 3750 core switch that uplinks to an ISA Server providing internal firewall services on our domain. Two Vlans for user and guest accounts; managed by AD. All our WiFi devices are on their own subnet.

What utilities are currently available, reasonable cost/reasonable admin overhead, for capturing usage data and reporting?

What ere people using effectively??

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
