That makes project files the archive: one per site with dates in names. Exact paths may vary by version. Pro unlocks planning mode and multi-floor analysis; Discover mode surveys free. Active scans measure throughput. Passive surveys map coverage. Report templates brand PDFs. GPS tags outdoor points.

Frequently asked questions
How do I export a WiFi survey?
Open the project and use the export option for reports with heatmaps and AP tables. PDF exports suit client handoffs. Raw snapshots stay in the project file for reanalysis.
How do I run an accurate survey?
Walk the area slowly with the survey mode recording signal per point on the floor plan. Calibrate the scale first or heatmaps mislead. Repeat walks average out phone-holding variance.
