Best WiFi scanners

What tasks are suitable for

Download WiFi scanners will be needed for such tasks:

installation of a new router (monitoring the channels of WiFi networks, the choice of the optimal one);

selection of the place in the room to install the repeater (repeater of signal), as well as the selection of the optimal WiFi channel for it (if you use not a duplication, namely expanding);

analysis of information about the equipment used (the manufacturer of wireless module, driver version, supported data transmission standards);

finding vulnerabilities in available WiFi networks (type of encryption used, WPS support);

detect hidden WiFi (for which the SSID, BSSID are banned from public broadcasting);

test maximum WiFi data transfer rate near or at a distance from the router (in the local network);

visual presentation of the graph of the air traffic in the room (total number of access points, frequencies used, identifying "noisy" places where the wireless equipment may fail).

Such free programs for Windows, Linux and MacOS can be downloaded from our website. All presented applications are updated to current versions, russified (if there is an official or at least fan translation for them).

New WiFi scanners

TCPView

Network scanner for Windows, showing the ports used by all processes and devices on the LAN. Used for LAN administration, searching for traces of unauthorized access.

NetSpot

WiFi scanner with the function of building a model of the room map. It is used to find the best locations for router installation. Also displays service information on all WiFi points in the area of visibility.
