Installation and service of a wireless home network
First Claim
1. A diagnostic apparatus for diagnosing a wireless home network, and the diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a signal analyzer for analyzing wireless communication parameters at identifiable locations within a coverage area associated with the wireless home network;
a throughput projector for projecting wireless throughput levels for at least one proposed wireless device differing in communication capabilities from the diagnostic apparatus at each of the identifiable locations, based on the wireless communication parameters analyzed by the signal analyzer together with parameters which identify relative differences in communication capabilities of the diagnostic apparatus and the at least one proposed wireless device.

Abstract
A diagnostic apparatus including a signal analyzer and a throughput projector for diagnosing a wireless home network. The signal analyzer analyzes wireless communication parameters at identifiable locations within a coverage area associated with the wireless home network. The throughput projector projects wireless throughput levels for at least one proposed wireless device differing in communication capabilities from the diagnostic apparatus at each of the identifiable locations, based on the communication parameters analyzed by the signal analyzer together with parameters which identify relative differences in communication capabilities of the diagnostic apparatus and the at least one proposed wireless device.
