All-in-one to address multiple technologies The EtherScope nXG has two sets of native Wi-Fi network interfaces: a 2x2 radio to scan and test Wi-Fi networks, and a 1x1 radio for remote control connection and testing. The test interface supports Wi-Fi 7 visibility and can show analysis of utilization and status of Wi-Fi channels, SSIDs, BSSIDs, access points and client devices. The EtherScope nXG provides full 6 GHz support.*

The EtherScope nXG has two Ethernet ports. The main test RJ-45 port supports MultiGig networks from 10/100Mbps to 1/2.5/5/10Gbps to verify link speeds, SNR, and duplex advertised and connected. It can request and verify PoE power under load from up to 90W PSE's. Alternatively, it can interface to fiber networks via single/multi-mode SFP+ to test 1/10Gbps fiber-based Ethernet. The second RJ-45 management port connects to 10/100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet for remote control, and conducts network discovery and tests where needed. It is also the port for cable testing.

The EtherScope nXG has built-in Bluetooth v5/BLE radio for connectivity and conducting BT/BLE site surveys; USB interfaces provide connectivity for accessories and other devices.

Spectrum Analysis and Interference Trying to pinpoint the source of Wi-Fi interference on a wireless network is hit or miss with the wrong tools. Through the use of the optional NXT-2000 Mobile Spectrum Analyzer, EtherScope nXG offers a view of RF interference in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands and its impact on the wireless network’s overall performance. Key graphs and charts include:

Real-Time FFT: Provides a real-time view into the RF environment.
Frequency Spectrum: Displays real-time analysis on signals that are common during the current capture session.
Waterfall: Shows intermittent spikes of RF energy that over time may be causing wireless network problems.
