Design it, survey it, then keep an eye on it.
Wi-Fi Studio Assure is in private beta.
Problems don't wait for the next survey, and the cause isn't always the Wi-Fi. Hardware sensors on site and software sensors on everyday devices, such as laptops and barcode scanners, track Wi-Fi, local network and internet experience between surveys.
Assure also pulls data from the network management platforms you already use, so you can watch Wi-Fi and switches from multiple vendors in one place, and spot problems before users report them.
Sensors and users' own devices, plus the switch behind the access point
One overview shows every site over time, with the sites that need attention first. Each sensor shows its status, scores, signal, last speed test and 24-hour trend.
Every sensor gets a Wi-Fi score, from the sensor to your router, and an Internet score, for everything beyond it. Overall is the lower of the two, so you know which part is holding things back.
Signal, delay, loss and jitter between the sensor and your router.
Extra delay, loss and jitter beyond your router, plus download speed from a recent speed test.
Default bands: Excellent 90+ · Good 75–89 · Fair 60–74 · Poor under 60. The account owner can change them. Missing data shows as Unavailable, never as zero.
When a sensor moves to another access point, Assure marks the moment on its signal chart and shows the access point, channel and signal level before and after.
Assure now reads the switches behind your Wi-Fi, so when an access point struggles you can see whether the cause is a port, a cable or power. It only reads, never changes a setting, and checks every 15 minutes.
Whether it's working, how fast it's linked, errors on the cable, and the power it sends to devices over the network cable.
Fans, power supplies, and how much of the switch's power budget is already in use.
Which port each access point is plugged into, so a Wi-Fi problem points to its wired cause: "the access point lost its port", not "Wi-Fi dropped".
On a beta site, one read-only check found three wired problems behind the Wi-Fi.
Switch monitoring is in preview.
Choose Get sensor logs on the sensor's page in Assure. The next time it checks in, it sends its logs from the last three days, ready to download for 24 hours.
When something real happens (a gap when a sensor comes back, sustained loss or latency, a DNS or web page failure, or repeated roaming), Assure saves a packet capture. Open issues show what went wrong, where and when.
Open Inspect Environment on a sensor for the same channel graphs as Inspect, on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. The sensor scans about every 10 minutes, or press Scan now.
Three questions, answered: did the network meet design intent, does it meet users today, and can it support future needs?
A plain-language summary of a period: what happened, where the problem was, and a timeline.
DNS lookup times and web page checks from every sensor.
Every site and sensor on a map, coloured by health.
Use any one, or combine them. They all report into the same site in Assure.
Stays on site · Continuous
A dedicated sensor you set up once and leave in place, testing around the clock.
Best for: Continuous monitoring at a fixed spot.
macOS · Windows · Android · iOS (coming)
Runs on the laptops and phones people already use. No extra hardware needed.
Best for: Seeing what real users experience on their own devices.
Nothing to install · Read-only
Reads data straight from the access points and switches you already run, through their management system.
Best for: Seeing the network's side: power, ports, cables and access point health.

Assure is in private beta. Request beta access.
Yes. Inspect is free for Mac and Windows: download it here. Design, Survey and Assure are in private beta. Apply to join the beta; it takes a short beta agreement.
Yes. Assure sits alongside Design and Survey in the same Wi-Fi Studio account and sites: design it, survey it, then keep an eye on it.
Yes. Open the sensor in Assure and choose Get sensor logs. The next time it checks in, it sends its logs from the last three days. Passwords and sign-in tokens are taken out first. Network names stay in, so you can see which network it was on. The download is kept for 24 hours.
