What you get

See what’s affecting your Wi-Fi and decide what to troubleshoot.

WiFi Explorer gives you a clearer picture of the wireless networks around you, so you can investigate a poor connection rather than guess at the cause. You can spot overlapping channels that may interfere with your network and compare signal quality across nearby networks, including weak ones.

You get graphs that make differences easier to see without working through rows of numbers. Signal quality accounts for background noise as well as strength, helping you judge which networks have a better signal. You can also check network bands and security status, then adjust colors and columns to keep the networks you care about easy to follow.

When you find a potential problem, you can use the included help manual to work through common fixes. You get information to guide your troubleshooting, rather than an automatic repair for every connection issue.

  • Spot channel conflicts

    You can see which nearby networks use overlapping channels and may be interfering with your connection.

  • Compare signal quality

    You can assess signals using both strength and background noise, rather than relying on strength alone.

  • Make sense of readings

    You can compare networks visually through graphs instead of interpreting every number.

  • Work through common fixes

    You can follow the help manual to troubleshoot common Wi-Fi problems without specialist networking knowledge.

Best for

  • You’re investigating unreliable Wi-Fi at home
  • You need to check channel overlap in a busy workplace
  • You want to compare nearby networks’ signal quality

Skip it if

You don’t need it if your Wi-Fi works reliably and you have no reason to inspect nearby networks.
