Is there a PC equivalent for the Android 'Wifi Analyzer' App? [closed]
I'm using the Wifi Analyzer app on my phone a lot at the moment as I need to set up and test some wireless networks. For people unfamiliar with the app, i've posted some screenshots of the app that I found on the internet.
I'm looking for some software that will do the same or similar thing, but on a PC. I've looked on Google, but could not find anything of use.
Solution 1:
there's a few - inSSIDer is what i prefer - though i often use meraki's wifi stumber at client's systems wifi stumbler seems to have been EOLed - something about it written in java IIRC.
For linux linssd is a very similar application that seems to work alright
Solution 2:
Also useful is Xirrus' wifi inspector:
The Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector is a powerful tool for managing and troubleshooting the Wi-Fi on a Windows XP SP2 or later, Vista, or 7 laptop. Built in tests enable you to characterize the integrity and performance of your Wi-Fi connection.
Application includes:
Searching for Wi-Fi networks
