Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Scanning Apps

[Enfield, Chuck]

Wi-Fi Analyzer Pro, Network Signal Info Pro, Aruba Utilities, & nperf. Wi-Fi 
Analyzer is my go to scanner, and nperf my performance tester, but the other 
two have features I use sometimes. Between them they meet all my needs.

I was wondering if anyone had any free wireless scanning apps for Android that 
they currently like?  Just something free and simple you can use to check 
signal strength, SSIDs and BSSIDs around you when out in the field?  I always 
end up with a different one each time I replace my phone and was about to poke 
around the Play store again.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] [EXTERNAL] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Scanning Apps

[Lionel Shigemura]

Apple restricts access to system functions so the options are limited.
Apple's AirPort Utility has basic scanning features, but must be enabled in
the app settings, "WiFi Scanner".  It offers MAC, RSSI, and channel info.

The Android Aruba App is good.  We have MetaGeek's WiSpy Air solution.  It
uses a proprietary external wireless NIC that attaches to a device.  This
is a workaround to Apple's built-in hardware/software restrictions.  The
Air Viewer App offers similar features as inSSIDer and is considered a
"lightweight spectrum analyzer".

I would stick with AirPort Utility for basics since it's very convenient
and simple.  Less accessories to carry unless I do more in-depth
troubleshooting.  Then, I would take my laptop and test sets.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Scanning Apps

I was wondering if anyone had any free wireless scanning apps for Android that 
they currently like?  Just something free and simple you can use to check 
signal strength, SSIDs and BSSIDs around you when out in the field?  I always 
end up with a different one each time I replace my phone and was about to poke 
around the Play store again.

Aruba Utilities is great. I wish they had it for iOS.
