NetAlly LSPRNTR-300 LinkSprinter 300 Network Tester with WiFi and Distance to Cable Fault Indication, w/WiFi & Distance to Cable Fault Indication

If you do anything with computer networking, you need this. Starting with the $10 tester that basically just makes sure the pins are lining up, this may seem like a big jump, but it's really helped me save time and understand what's wrong rather than just guess and deduce. First off, it's well built. I throw it in my tool bag, laptop bag, it falls, no problem. It's compact and easy to have with you all the time. If you're doing the quick test xjust plug it in, and it'll light up for dhcp, switch connection, router connection and finally internet. But if you connect to its wifi signal, your phone browser becomes the interface to access more tools! The most important is cable tester that can tell you which pins are working and the distance to where they are broken. AND it logs into your account online and sends reports as it gets internet connected for each test which you can append notes, etc. If you do big cabling jobs, you should probably get something above this. But for the network tester on the go, this thing has proven itself super useful

This is not as capable as the LinkRunner but for someone who doesn't use it daily or even weekly, it does what it need for basic testing. If you are a power user and do lots of testing go for the LinkRunner.It does cable tests, flash port, and provides switch port info and testing.It can even email you the results of the test. That is pretty much everything it does.It also does not work the with the Wireview/WireMapper. Hopefully, that is something they will add in the future.

It's a simple setup, requires a wireless phone or PC to get the web page for results but has an impressive readout. Gives VLAN, switch data, port info, switch name, VLAN and dhcp info for the port and switch. Less expensive than a fluke, and perfect for port testing.

This tester is a great tool to have in your arsenal. I have purchased several of these for members of my IT team. They are a quick way to test a cable or jack and make sure its good to go. The test results can be viewed on a mobile phone, but we often just wait a few seconds and the email with the results comes to your phone. You can claim multiple devices in an account, name them and have the results go to individual users, but the link-live.com site has all the results from all of my guys. If you reply to the email you can attach comments or even a photo and it will be saved in the portal as well.The tests are quick and you can determine if the port is POE powered, on managed switches you get the switch info, make, model, firmware, management IP and the port you are plugged into as well as speed, duplex and IP that the device acquired and the IP of the DHCP server. The 300 even does cable length as well. If they would add a reflector and cable mapping it could replace those tools as well.The build quality is top notch and they are very durable, most of ours have survived several drops.

The product is excellent and does what it claims.The problem was with the seller. When the product arrived, UPS asked me to add $100 to the price for taxes and shipping. When I contacted the seller, they told me that they are new and have no control over it.In the sale itself I paid extra for shipping and taxes, so it was supposed to include everything

This is a great tool for anyone dealing with networking on a regular basis. This has saved me from having to set up so many walk-throughs when dealing with network devices and networking techs.

its a Netally, enough said!

Nice toy to diagnose network issues. Kind of pricey, but its the real deal. It gives you enough specifics to figure out what is wrong, or at least enough ammunition to go back at the network department to show them that they are screwing up. I like it.
