In this episode, we sit down with Adrian Granados and Josh Schmelzle to talk about the WLAN Pi Go, a portable Wi-Fi diagnostic and packet capture tool that’s reshaping how engineers troubleshoot networks in the field. We discuss why they built it, how it fits into modern Wi-Fi workflows, and what’s coming next.

Why Create the WLAN Pi Go?

  • The origin story: how the team identified the need for a portable, reliable Wi-Fi 7–ready diagnostic tool.
  • Bridging the gap between software and hardware — bringing tools like WiFi Explorer and Airtool into a unified field device.

How People Use It in the Field

  • Real-world use cases:
    • Wi-Fi Scanning & Packet Capture
    • Onsite troubleshooting and validation
    • Classroom demos and training sessions
  • Integrations and interfaces:
    • Web Interface: Provides essential device information and configuration
    • WLAN Pi App: Manage and monitor the WLAN Pi Go (available for iOS and Android)
    • Profiler: Assess wireless environment characteristics
    • WiFi Explorer Pi: iPhone-based Wi-Fi scanning and analysis
    • Airtool Pi: iPhone-based packet capture and export for analysis
