Abstract
Wireless LAN products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards are very popular across home and enterprise markets globally. The certification programme conducted by the wi-fi alliance is expensive and focuses on the interoperability issues. It also uses proprietary tools for accomplishing the same. In this paper, we propose a framework for the comprehensive evaluation of 802.11 based products using free and open-source tools. The evaluation comprises of rigorous conformance, performance, and interoperability issues.
