Title: Smartphone Wifi Sniffer
Post by: samuel on April 11, 2016, 08:22:08 PM
Hello guys, I have a retail store! I am looking to track as to how many users visit my store, for how long they stay in the store and the number of repeat customers. So I figured, most people with smartphones have their wifi turned on. I am looking at developing a smartphone Wifi tracker solution. Would RT5350F be ideal to develop the solution if at all it is possible to do so with RT5350F?

The RT5350F wifi signal strength is not the best in the world.
Also the performance can be an issue when you try to monitor a lot of clients.

But it should be possible to build some kind of wifi sniffer.
