Jake is here to show off something a bit different -- Networking tools! With the ability to troubleshoot and diagnose connection issues in a small, battery-powered package, this could be the ultimate package for the IT manager on the go.

Everything?🤫

They should have made it work as a cable tester too. That would be nice to have in one package.
-
I picked up one of these a few months ago. Definitely some software bugs but it does save me a bunch of time and is a fraction of the price of devices that can do similar things. If the bugs get worked out we'll be picking them up for the whole team. Support team is responsive as well
-
100% agree that cable / signal integrity would make this so good. Really annoying if your cable is the culprit and you do endless amount of switch settings and software settings when that isn't the issue at all. You don't always have a second ethernet cable on hand to test, nor is that usually first thing you check.
-
Was really hoping for cable testing. There’s a real gap between dirt cheap continuity testers and proper testing equipment. A reasonably priced unit that not only did continuity but could estimate speed/noise and perhaps break distance for broken lines; that would fly
-
As a Telecommunications Technician at a smaller university, I'm considering getting a handful of these for our student workers! Our full time techs use NetAlly Linkrunners and I can't say enough good about them, but something like this would be perfect to give to part timers and students just in case they leave them behind in a ceiling or break them its not as big of a loss as a $1300+ device!
-
You just know the team that worked on this are active networking folks. Not just business people with some tech folks.
-
Really cool. Not so sure about the cloud logging (privacy/security concerns). It would be cool if they could implement all the other features you get with expensive equipment like line speed testing and hardware faults.
-
I'm a net admin and I literally just got one of these a few weeks ago! Saved me HOURS when taking over a customer from previous IT and trying to figure out how the hell everything was wired up!
-
I have used similar tools, had them deployed to my field staff as well for help in troubleshooting or just some data gathering. They come in handy when you have zero network documentation and hundreds of users.
-
Maybe they could use their tool to diagnose their website :D
-
Hope they let you handle logging locally in the future, otherwise it seems really cool
-
I love these. Looks like the LTT rush borked their website currently.
-
Do note you'll need LLDP or CDP running on the switch to get most of that information, that also means you'll need managed switches and you are leaking information about your network if you have it enabled.
-
I really like the look of this. I occasionally use a Pockethernet at the moment, I don't often need it but when I do it's so useful. Nettool looks to have some amount of overlap but also does a lot more as well. I'd love to see some sort of network mapping technology if that's possible to show the various switches and ports in path between the device and the router
-
Welp we already broke their website 😂
-
Man Jake's dead on about grabbing the port info for all the different devices. This would've been a godsend when I was working in a hospital moving every device from one network to another. We were using Flukes but it was super cumbersome to get the information back to the networking guys who had to make the actual switchover. 300 bucks ain't cheap but it's a whole hell of a lot cheaper than the competition.
-
I'm buying some of these. Realized I clicked off the video too soon because I saw enough to convince me way before the video finished. Coming back to comment because I want this kind of content to continue even if I don't make it to the end before I have enough info to decide. If there was a Jake/Anthony admin channel I would sub
-
3 minutes in, and the site's DB cannot connect. I guess they need to troubleshoot their network connection
-
Great tool, would be even greater if it could as well detect POE (and - if available - charge through POE). Also an integrated tiny OLED screen, displaying IP address, mask and gateway, would be extremely neat here.
