Leave-Behind Wi-Fi Sensors Don't Have to Break the Bank | PRG 26

Leave-behind sensors that continuously monitor network experience, collect Wi-Fi telemetry, and run remote packet captures typically cost hundreds to thousands of dollars each. Yet, even with the current technology supply chain climate, off-the-shelf hardware is available at a fraction of the cost.

The high cost of existing solutions limit adoption and the ability to deploy at scale to cover the areas frequented by network users. We'll walk through how we built an open, low-cost alternative and show you how to make your own Wi-Fi 7 sensor for less than $100.
