EtherScope nXG Network Tester & WiFi Tool

Description

EtherScope® nXG Ethernet Network Tester & WiFi Diagnostics Tool is a powerful, all-in-one handheld tester built to tackle the complexities of today’s high-speed, multi-technology access networks. Designed for network engineers and field technicians, it streamlines the deployment, validation, troubleshooting, and documentation of wired Ethernet, WiFi (2.4, 5, and 6 GHz), and Bluetooth/BLE networks.

Packed with advanced features like AutoTest, network discovery, AirMapper™ site surveys, LANBERT™ Media Qualification, and performance testing apps, the EtherScope nXG delivers unparalleled visibility and diagnostic capabilities in a single, portable device.

Key Features & Benefits:

• End-to-End Wired & Wireless Network Validation: Validate 1G/10G Ethernet performance, PoE up to 90W, and WiFi network quality across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands — ideal for critical servers, access points, and devices.
• Advanced AutoTest (Layer 1-7): Fully customizable wired and wireless test profiles check link speed, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, PoE, authentication, application availability, and more — with easy-to-read Pass/Fail results.
• Network Discovery & Topology Mapping: Automatically discover and visualize your entire wired and wireless network, identifying changes, potential threats, and device details in real-time using the Link-Live™ cloud platform.
• WiFi & Bluetooth/BLE Site Surveys with AirMapper™: Perform location-based active and passive WiFi surveys and Bluetooth heatmaps, simplifying wireless deployment, performance validation, and troubleshooting.
• LANBERT™ Media Qualification: Quickly assess whether existing cabling can support higher bandwidth (up to 10Gbps on copper or fiber), helping avoid costly, unnecessary infrastructure upgrades.
• Performance Testing & iPerf Support: Measure throughput, loss, latency, and jitter over wired or WiFi links with built-in performance and iPerf apps, verifying SLA compliance and network readiness for critical services.
• Spectrum Analysis (optional adapter required): Identify sources of interference across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands with real-time FFT, spectrum waterfall, and frequency analysis — simplifying WiFi troubleshooting and security audits.
• Packet Capture & Path Analysis: Capture network traffic at up to 10G line-rate for troubleshooting, and trace device paths across complex network segments to locate bottlenecks or failures.
• Centralized Data Management & Collaboration: Sync test results, site surveys, performance metrics, and network maps to the cloud via Link-Live™ for seamless reporting, documentation, and remote troubleshooting collaboration.

Built for versatility, speed, and deep network insight, the EtherScope nXG eliminates the need for multiple testers and laptops — making it the go-to tool for access network validation, troubleshooting, and security assessments.
