MetaGeek develops the award winning line of Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer tools that enable you to make Wi-Fi work the way it's supposed to. Perfect for IT professionals who need to optimize their 802.11 a/b/g/n network, Wi-Spy takes the guesswork out of troubleshooting by graphically displaying the RF interference occurring in the airwaves.

Wi-Spy Spectrum Analyzers

Wi-Spy is a USB-based troubleshooting tool that turns your PC or Mac into a powerful spectrum analyzer covering the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 900 MHz bands. Especially useful for optimizing Wi-Fi performance, Wi-Spy makes the invisible visible and enables you to defeat wireless interference emitting from any source, including cordless phones and wireless cameras.

The Metageek Team

In 2005, while working on some cool short-range wireless technology, our office had a single spectrum analyzer shared amongst a team of engineers. It was big, cumbersome, and expensive. I was tired of having the spectrum analyzer cart in my cubicle, so one night I starting hacking some firmware and software to create the first Wi-Spy. Sure, it wasn't nearly as sophisticated as the Agilent spectrum analyzer I had been using, but it was a lot smaller and easier to use, which was pretty cool. I figured maybe other people would think it was cool too... and the rest, as they say, is history :-)

Today MetaGeek is a small tight-knit team of folks (mostly geeks) that strives to create easy-to-use wireless troubleshooting tools.

Ryan Woodings, Chief Geek

As MetaGeek has grown Ryan has worn a variety of hats. These days he spends most of his time managing the business (and sneaks some development time in too). To relieve his stress Ryan enjoys running... a lot. When he's not training for a half marathon he's training for a full marathon. In the summer Ryan cruises to work on his Honda Shadow (65 mpg), mountain bikes in the Boise foothills and attempts to jump with his wakeboard.

Brian Tuttle, Geek Herder

Brian oversees R&D and handles the firmware development. To ensure that he doesn't ever develop a personal life, he also manages our hardware development. Most importantly, he brews the coffee.

Adam Morgan, Code Ninja

Adam's title says it all...

Brian Bandhauer, RF Geek

Brian is the newest member of the MetaGeek team and the first RF/Hardware geek. Brian is an expert at antenna design and RF circuits.

Skay Woodings, Financial Stuff

Skay pays the bills, writes the pay checks, and takes care of the financial details so the geeks can focus on what they do best.

Wen Olson, Ops

Wen is the one that keeps the wheels of commerce rolling around here. She takes care of getting Wi-Spy built, packaged, and shipped.

Trent Cutler, The Intern

If you've called or emailed with a support question you've probably already met Trent. Along with tech support, he also does a lot of the website development and all of the training videos.

Mark Jensen, Biz Dev

As Wi-Spy has taken off, MetaGeek hired Mark to help out with
business and marketing tasks. Although more familiar with spreadsheets than with RF, Mark has taken to the geek lifestyle. Rumor has it that he now enjoys tinkering with his friends' WLANs, and finds great pleasure in defeating interference with his Wi-Spy.

Ben Bower, Intern #4

Ben works part-time at MetaGeek while studying at C.S. at Boise State University. He pushes the limits of our software to (hopefully) find the bugs before it gets shipped.
