If you’ve been using Ekahau for a while, you probably already know how painful it can be to generate a list of APs from within a custom report template – and even then, it’s not the most useful thing in the world just for being in Word format.
But here’s some relief: I’ve written a Python script to crack open the data file and generate that report in CSV format (maybe I’ll even update it to spit out native Excel data one of these days).
Caveat: Currently only supports surveyed APs. Stay tuned for a version that will also do planned/simulated APs.
Hi Ian, Thanks for sharing the AP_Report.py script. I don’t see any signal strength info in the .CSV file. Is this because of new updates to Ekahau?
IIRC, that involves cracking open the actual survey data binary data. And would, of course, vary depending on where you are in the survey.
OK. So no easy way to just pull out all the signals data linked by X, Y positions and survey time, then?
That would likely run afoul of the license terms, but hypothetically, an agentic AI pointed at those binary files with a prompt to decode them would likely yield the results you are looking for.
