I've scheduled the CWAP test towards the latter part of April. Although my self study has been based on the CWAP Offical Study Guide and Ethereal. I have no other real world experience with WiFi Anaylisis. Do you feel that one can pass this test with just the two tools I've referenced here?

Hi Steel,

Ethereal alone is not enough.
I would suggest you to download Tamosoft Commview's trial version and view the post with subject ethereal on the same CWAP forum and how to
download it.

I understand that you dont have real world Experience.
I wont say that you cant clear it without real world experience.

But it is goin to be very very tough without real world experience.
Do you have a CWNA by now...

If you are trying to do CWAP first without real world experience and without clearing CWNA.

God it is going to tough for you .

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I made CWNA back in mid 2004. I have worked in wireless quite a bit since then mostly Cisco 1200 series equipment and Cisco WLSE as well.

The problem is our company just will not spring for the $$$ on any diagnostic equipment.

I will download the trial software you have recommended and begin working with that at EOD today.

Thanks for the help.

Hi ,

Good to know that u did ur CWNA in 2004.
Companaies will not spend more on Diagnostic tools.
Let them spend on us.[We CWNP proffessionals should troubleshoot and do our best with what we have].If things are essential lets bet on open source .

I think u can clear CWAP if you really read the Book well.
Bounce back for further help.

I wish all the success for your CWAP Exam. .

All you need to know is about Protocol Analysis,PHY layer ,MAC [Management ,Control and Data frames],also read the PCF well.
