WiFi Explorer v1.3.2 | MacOSX | 2 MB - upload by chuzio



WiFi Explorer detects and displays the information of 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networks in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. In addition, it supports 20 MHz (narrow) and 40 MHz (wide) channel widths.

Quickly identify channel conflicts and overlapping

Wireless networks transmit their signal in a narrow radio frequency range called channel. In actual wireless communications, the transmitted signals of adjacent channels will overlap and interfere with each other, and therefore you should always pick a channel that is free from other Wi-Fi routers or sources of interference.

WiFi Explorer can help you to identify channel conflicts, overlapping and other factors (e.g. configuration issues) that may be affecting the connectivity, security and/or performance of your wireless network in homes, offices, and other sites.



Get an insight into the network details

WiFi Explorer provides an insight into the network details, such as:

• Network Name (SSID) and MAC Address (BSSID)
• Manufacturer
• Mode (802.11a/b/g/n)
• Band (2.4 GHz ISM and 5 GHz UNII-1, 2, 2 Extended, and 3)1
• Channel Bandwidth (20 MHz or 40 MHz)
• Secondary Channel Offset2
• Network Type (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)
• Security Mode (e.g. WEP, WPA, WPA2)
• Encryption (TKIP, AES, TKIP + AES)
• Support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
• Supported Data Rates

Monitor network parameters over time

WiFi Explorer monitors the signal strength (RSSI), background noise, and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of each network over time and lets you export the metrics and other network details to CSV file format.

Other features

• Easy-to-use, intuitive user interface.
• Runs in Snow Leopard and Lion.
• Displays signal strength and noise values as percentage or dBm.
• Provides different sorting and filtering options.
• Full-screen mode (Mac OS 10.7 and above).



- Fixed a problem where app would not find any networks in the 5GHz band, or any networks in the 5GHz band using a DFS channel (52-140).
- Fixed a problem where after changing the SSID of a network, an old entry would persist resulting in two networks with the same BSSID but different SSID.
- Fixed multiple stability issues introduced in recent versions of the app.
- Updated vendors database.
