WiFi Signal analysis is a project which involved analyzing the WiFi traffic in and around Vishwakarma Institute of Technology. We present the details of the analysis and the results of our experiment on the WiFi using analyzer tool called InSSIDer .We have collected information about the WiFi in the form of packets and we have analyzed the captured packets to understand the nature and performance of the WiFi at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology. As WiFi is used all over the world for connecting the devices and for data sharing. But the spectrum provided for its transmission is less. So sometimes channels are overlapped getting less signal strength.
