Does anyone have some good recommendations?  We have used wi-fi sniffers//protocol analyzers, but do not have the wireless spectrum tool.

This happens occassionaly and I am curious if others have seen this..??  Using any type of dsl card, the service may break and then the fix is to remake the cross-connect in the software. Anyone else have this and was it fixed with a software upgrade or similar?? Thanks for info.<br/>
