LizardSystems has released version 25.05 of its Wi-Fi Scanner, a free application designed to identify visible wireless networks and provide users with a comprehensive array of relevant information. This includes details such as the network name (SSID), signal strength (RSSI), quality, MAC address (BSSID), channel, maximum and achievable data rates, and security protocols. The Wi-Fi Scanner is particularly beneficial for home users seeking to optimize their network setup by evaluating signal strength distribution and determining the best location for their access point.
For corporate network administrators, the tool is invaluable for tasks related to configuration, planning, and monitoring the security of business wireless networks. The application is straightforward to set up, offering a 10-day trial period for unregistered users, after which a simple registration is required for continued free usage (for non-commercial purposes).
Key features of LizardSystems Wi-Fi Scanner include support for various Wi-Fi standards (802.11ac and 802.11a/b/g/n), dual frequency bands (2.4 and 5 GHz), detailed network information display, detection of security standards (WEP, WPA, WPA2), and graphical representations of signal strength over time. Users can filter networks based on specific criteria, connect to detected networks, and manage wireless connection profiles.
In addition to its current capabilities, there is potential for future updates to enhance functionality, such as integrating advanced analytics for network performance, offering automated suggestions for optimal access point placements, or incorporating user-friendly tutorials for troubleshooting common Wi-Fi issues. Overall, LizardSystems Wi-Fi Scanner serves as an essential tool for both casual users and IT professionals looking to maximize their wireless connectivity
