History[edit]

WiFi Explorer began as a desktop alternative to WiFi Analyzer, an iPhone app for wireless network scanning that was pulled out from Apple's App Store in March, 2010, due to the use of private frameworks.^[4][5] Since its first release, WiFi Explorer incorporated features that were not included in the last available version of WiFi Analyzer, such as support for 5 GHz networks and 40 MHz channel widths. Starting in version 1.5, WiFi Explorer included support for 802.11ac networks, as well as 80 and 160 MHz channel widths. In June 22, 2017, a professional version of WiFi Explorer, WiFi Explorer Pro, was released.^[6] WiFi Explorer Pro offers additional features especially designed for WLAN and IT professionals.^[7] The standard version of WiFi Explorer is also available on Setapp.

Limitations[edit]

Due to limitations of Apple's CoreWLAN framework,^[12] the standard version of WiFi Explorer is unable to detect hidden networks (except when connected to it) and does not support external USB Wi-Fi adapters. The Pro edition supports passive scanning,^[10] which can detect hidden networks, and can make use of external adapters via the External Adapter Support Environment (EASE).

System requirements[edit]

• macOS 10.10 or higher (64-bit)

WiFi Explorer features

WiFi scanner

WiFi Explorer analyses your network environment to present it in a comfortable and customizable interface. The scanner is a collection of powerful WiFI tools that pick up even remote or weak networks and allow you to fix the ones that perform poorly.

Visual graphs

Every network together with its details are presented in the form of visual graphs. This makes it easy to quickly assess the situation without studying the numbers. You can just glance at the color lines to see which networks work better and have a stronger signal.

Troubleshooting

Wifi Explorer has a kit of troubleshooting tools. With it you can fix network problems faster and without asking for professional help. You don’t have to be a system administrator to know what’s wrong and how to make it work again, just open the app.

Multiple band support

The app can deal with networks that work on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands. This means that whatever type of device you have or whatever range your network runs, the WiFi monitor in the app will support it. As well as channels of 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz.

Customizable view

Easily choose what you wish to see when the Explorer opens. For instance, the colors of particular networks can be adjusted so it’s not a problem to track the ones you need and ignore the irrelevant. And the columns can be edited and sorted to your taste.

Signal-to-noise ratio

Signal quality in the app is estimated based on the specific criteria, signal-to-noise ratio. The reason being is that signal strength might be insufficient for the wireless network analyzer to make conclusions. That’s why the SNR is also taken into evaluation.
