Network is the interconnection of the network devices this is to ensure there is communication between the network devices. However there are various network challenges that exist and interfere with the network devices, this can lead to loss of data and authorized access to the network.
In this report there will analysis of the wireless local area network locations where each location will have a total of ten APS (access points) and this will be analyzed their technical features and details and their security level is recorded where the recommendations are given to improve the network security.
However I selected Nyahururu town to do analysis of the network and there will be three network locations namely Network-1, Network-2 and Network-3 where each will have ten internet access points (APS) as below.
However to do the analysis of the selected network the sniffing tool will be acrylic wi-fi home application.
In my research I decided to do my network analysis in the wireless network in a big shopping centre called Nyahururu town where I sited three network locations [5]
The network locations selected included Network-1, Network-2 and Network-3 where in each network there will be 10 internet access points but I have recorded in one table as below.

In the Nyahururu town I selected three different locations where each network location had a minimum of ten internet access points and the tables below give the summary of the technical information of those access points in each network location.

The network security has been tested using a specific tool called acrylic wi-fi home application which I used to detect the technical information about the wireless networks and their respective security status as in the below tables.
After the testing of the network locations and the respective wireless networks ,the following are the observations made as summarized in the below tables.
The tables below consists of the detailed information of the each location which has a total of 10 APS each location as shown below.

To identify the network details of the wireless network I used the acrylic wi-fi home application to scan the network technical details and securities [4].
Below are screenshots showing the evidence of the technical details.
However after obtaining the network in the various networks locations below are the network security details of each wireless network in each three locations as in below screenshots [3]..
The acrylic sniffing tool is network analysis tool that is used to analyze the wireless networks in various locations; this tool has various uses in relation to securing and management of the Wireless Local area network (WLAN) which includes:
The dual band are type of routers that are able to make use of two signals which are different where one is from 2.4GHZ bands while other is from 5GHZ bands.
Below are the advantages of dual bands routers.
The acrylic wi-fi home sniffing tool has various advantages and it is also important to ensure there is network security as follows.
