This time we are preparing a floor plan of the room to check the radio wave condition, so click on the image of "I have a map image". Even if you do not have a sketch, it is okay if you have a sketch, but you can easily examine it.


This is a rough sketch of PNG format prepared in advance. There is no position of the door, etc. It is a sketch with only the position of the room and corridor marked, but it is no problem at all.


Select the prepared sketch and click "Choose Image". The image file format that can be selected is JPG / BMP / WBMP / JPEG / PNG / GIF / SVG.


In order to make it easy to check the radio wave condition, click on the part to close the wireless LAN display on the left side and the operation explanation display on the right side.


The entire floor plan will be visible.


Hold a computer and take a floor plan. The personal computer is ready to use the radio.


Hover the mouse cursor over the actual standing position seen from the top of the diagram and click.


Next, actually move a little, move the mouse cursor a bit and click. Repeat this and check the radio wave condition of the room.


Go and click.


Click a little if it moves.


Walk a lot and click.


Right click when roughly moving about, such as the outer circumference of the room, and finishing examining all the way.


The radio field intensity and the location of the wireless LAN are displayed like this. The nearer to the green color the stronger the electric wave, the closer to the red color the weaker the electric wave, so the lower left is the strongest radio wave and the lower right is weak in this floor plan.


When placing the mouse cursor on the icon of the displayed wireless LAN router type, it displays only the radio wave state of that wireless LAN.
