When connecting to a wireless LAN as a user or conducting a RF site survey, be aware that the radio card makes a big difference in performance. A Cisco radio card, for example, allows much better range than a Netgear radio card in my laptop. When performing RF site surveys, try to use the same radio card in your RF site survey equipment as the ones that users will have in their mobile devices. This might not be possible with some products, such as Airmagnet, if the site survey software is licensed to a specific radio card. Airmagnet does, however, let you license their RF site survey software to a specific laptop, which enables you to interchange radio cards as needed.
