Hello, Sergey. I have very paranormal problems with these gadgets, PCs, routes, etc. Today I prepared a “gift” again. In short, the gist of it is this: the TL-WR841N/ND behaves unstable (it is both an N and an ND model). At first it’s the usual bullshit (for me) - when stability breaks, the laptop goes into BSOD with an error about the network. I have long been accustomed to the fact that I have “anomalous” devices, and the same garbage happens with a smartphone. The simplest example is when on. telephony activity (when the smart phone was called). If at this time you do not remove the smart phone from the PC at a distance of about 0.5-1.0 meters, then the PC goes into BSOD with (!) an unknown error (stupidly empty after “STOP .....”). It rarely happens that the OS simply freezes, and when the call ends, it hangs. Yes, it’s complete nonsense, but it’s all true, which is sad... By the way, this kind of garbage only happens with this laptop and smart phone - it’s friends with the rest. It was the turn of the router. As I said before, the PC goes into BSOD with a network error when the route loses stability (this is normal, it and the “screen of death” are best friends!). The smartphone is stupidly turned off. from the route (smacks of self-defense). At this time, on the route, the settings indicator (gear) begins to statically blink strangely at intervals of 1 second, which tells the owner of the equipment not good news. The Wi-Fi indicator also increases the frequency by about 0.5 seconds and switches to a static blinking frequency. Already (after ~30 minutes) the route was completely trashed. Immediately when turned on. The “gear” starts blinking and the connection to the route is very good. for a long time, and not always. Together with this “circus” we are losing connection through the marshturn. Already changed channels; frequency (or whatever it is); I have already updated the firmware (installed successfully); I also reset it to the factory ones; I changed the SSID to the Latin alphabet, taking into account without spaces, I thought maybe I had been “infected” with the well-known garbage called “Only Latin alphabet, numbers and underscores”; I set it to “open network” mode (without a password), I also thought that maybe it was “barking” at the encryption - whatever I did there, but the result did not change. Through direct everything is fine. I would also like to point out that the firewood for the network drive is fresh, etc. (well, you might think that the network interferes with maintaining route stability... after all, everything is possible). After this presentation, I have one question: Has Routh served his time and taken a “pension”? I forgot to say that the route is... well, about 4 years old. Such a “circus” is happening around me. What do you recommend?

P.S. Sorry for such a long text - a habit...

Hello. I don’t even know what to say :)

Unstable operation of the router is a common issue. Especially when the router has been working for 4 years. There may be a problem with the power supply. It does not produce the required voltage and the router does not work properly. Maybe the capacitors on the TL-WR841N/ND board itself are swollen. This also happens.

It’s strange how you described how the indicators work. The gear and Wi-Fi lights should be blinking. This is their normal state.

It is unlikely that the blue screen on the laptop appears due to the connection to the network of this router. The BSOD may appear due to an error in the driver of the network card or Wi-Fi adapter, but this is unlikely to have anything to do with the router.

Maybe you have some source of strong interference there.

09.09.2018 at 21:28 (6 months ago)

It's not strange at all. My gear rarely blinks, but now it’s too fast (faster, weird). I already know my junk... The power supply has nothing to do with it - I tried the prescribed voltage higher and lower, nothing changed - my equipment cannot be “bribed” with such garbage. The capacitors seem to be normal, not swollen. As for BSOD: I can’t confirm what’s described. There would be a chance to find out if it wrote an error when there was a conflict with smart. Also, do not forget that our equipment reacts to “waves”. I tore down the firewood for the network drive and installed a new one. It’s certainly unlikely with the adapter - it’s BSOD friendly from the very beginning because of the smart phone. I’ll also add that there are no appliances nearby, such as microwaves of any kind, etc. — the route is on the table where the laptop is, and there is nothing like it around. Hmm, I forgot to correct: BSOD occurs when the route stability is terminated, and not when connected! If we remember “smart and PC”, then the smart emits some kind of “waves” that the laptop does not like. Therefore, there is a fact that the route does the same.
Here’s a test I did, by the way, to find out whether the problem might actually be in the firewood (about the BSOD):
1. When connecting to a router using a Wi-Fi adapter, a BSOD appears with a Wi-Fi adapter driver error.
2. Through the cable to the router - BSOD with a direct connection driver error.
I Googled errors, and judging by the articles, the firewood “falls” with a critical hit (when the stability of the route bus breaks), which causes “our friend.”
Now there is no way to repeat this, and also look at the error codes again - the route immediately turns on instability when turned on, and no longer wants to connect anyone to it. The laptop only freezes for ~1 second (if the Wi-Fi module is enabled in the OS), and so does the smart phone, which is strange (our technology reacts to waves, right?)…

In short - complete nonsense and a circus. By the way, recently “hemorrhoids” reappeared again: Through the cable it shows that there is Internet, but it’s not there! I thought everything - as if the “straight” firewood had flown away. I asked my neighbors for a laptop for 5 minutes. - nothing has changed there. After 10 min. “my torture” was over and now everything was back to normal. Well, judging by your answer, it’s time to change the “Internet distributor”. Hotspot Windows 10 is distributing crap - you need to wait a couple of minutes for it to start distributing the Internet. Oh, how I love these “Adventures on my ass” - I really don’t have anything to do. Okay, I see that it is no longer possible to significantly “reanimate” him. Well, see you then, Sergey. Be healthy!

The article discusses free software running Microsoft Windows, which allows for a preliminary analysis of the radio coverage of the territory for the presence of third-party equipment operating in the Wi-Fi range 2.4/5 GHz. A comparison was made of the technical features of the software under consideration.

Introduction

In wireless networks, the communication channel between the transmitter and the receiver is open, which greatly complicates the analysis of radio signal propagation in the territory of the designed network. What's even worse is that neighboring wireless equipment can have a negative impact on your network through this "open" channel. Therefore, radio survey of the territory plays a very important role in the design of a Wi-Fi network. Some experts claim that radio inspection is a completely unnecessary stage, citing the fact that surrounding networks are also constantly appearing, developing, modernizing, moving, etc. But you must agree, it’s better to know in advance that there is a gigantic network of points living near you access of a neighboring office, and take appropriate measures (for example, move to other non-overlapping frequency channels), rather than later encounter problems with radio wave interference and, as a consequence, low throughput of your “open” communication channel.

Today there is a sufficient amount of software that allows you to assess the level of the surrounding electromagnetic background in the 2.4/5 GHz ranges. This article discusses programs that run under OS Windows.

1. Acrylic Wi-Fi

Acrylic Wi-Fi is the newest free network scanner that displays available wireless networks, their technical characteristics (protocol, channel, maximum speed, etc.) as well as information about their level of protection. The program even provides a list of Wi-Fi passwords that are used by default access points.

Acrylic has a paid professional version with advanced capabilities to detect wireless security issues. Also in this version, the program performs a radio survey of the territory and offers to select the optimal channels on the network to ensure the most correct operation. The appearance of the program is shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1 - Appearance of the Acrylic Wi-Fi program

In the free version of the program, its capabilities remain rather meager, limited to the output of the information shown in the screenshot above (Figure 1), namely: transmitted by the access point - SSID; its MAC address; RSSI - signal strength; Chan - number of the channel used for transmission; 802.11x - Wi-Fi transmission standard; Max Speed - maximum speed; WEP/WPA/PWA2 - encryption type. An excellent feature is that the program shows which access points have WPS 1.0/2.0 mode enabled, because it’s no secret that this WPS 1.0 has long been a kind of “back door” for any network. It also displays related information about the manufacturer (Vendor) and the type of network in which the access point operates (Type), or in other words: does it have access to the Internet, or there is no point in breaking it (just kidding). For added drama, a graph is displayed showing changes in signal strength from various access points over time (bottom right in Figure 1).

In general, the free version of Acrylic Wi-Fi is limited to the listed set of functions. Quite meager, considering that long before this program, software appeared that was capable of more.

It’s hard to find fault with the professional version of the program; quite a lot of useful functions have been crammed into it, for example, the program itself will indicate access points that negatively affect your network. Acrylic allows you to generate reports on the status of Wi-Fi networks with detailed characteristics of access points and transfer them to a communicator or administrator’s computer.

Resume on Acrylic Wi-Fi: When working with this program, I got the feeling that it was made entirely on the Kali Linux platform, with the only difference being that the graphical shell was added for working under Windows. The paid version is complemented by the fact that it allows you to generate reports in HTML format and helps the user make decisions about setting up the network without going into technical nuances. Thus, I would rate the free version of the program three points on a five-point scale; it can be classified as software for “beginners”; the paid version of the program deserves a slightly higher rating of three plus (due to the generation of reports). However, overall the program remains weak in its technical capabilities. In addition, it contains a bunch of distracting links leading to the developer’s website and profiles on google+, Facebook, twitter, etc. Which overall creates the impression not of a technical application, but of a program for entertainment, when, out of nothing to do, I decided to “monitor” my neighbors’ Wi-Fi access points.

2. Wi-Fi Scanner

This software can show detailed information about 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac networks near you, as well as access point parameters and signal strength. The program also has a paid and free version, unlike the previous software, they do not differ in functionality. After installing the program, you can use it for 30 days, after which you need to register it - free for personal use, or buy it in case of commercial use of the software. The appearance of the program is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 - Appearance of the Wi-Fi Scanner program

As in the previous software, the main column displays information about available networks, but the information is more extensive. Availability of additional columns: Achievable rate - actually achievable data transfer rate, Channel Width - used channel width, Spatial stream - spatial streams (here we are talking about MIMO technology), Channel Utilization - how loaded the data transmission channel is, and more extensive information about the security protocols used , and specifically the type of encryption: CCMP/TKIP/WEP/ or a combination thereof.

The free version of this program includes all the features listed in the professional version of Acrylic Wi-Fi. In particular: Figure 3 shows a graph of the signal level from available Wi-Fi networks. Very convenient and intuitive.

Figure 3

Figure 4 provides extended information about one of the surrounding networks. In this case, this network is of the same name Rostelecom.

Figure 4

Resume on WiFi Scanner: In my opinion, the design of this program is quite “easy” in terms of perception of the displayed information, and the location of all buttons and tabs is intuitive. This program is an excellent solution for private use, and for commercial use the prices are reasonable. The program deserves an excellent rating.

3.Homedale

Belongs to the "weak" class. From a technical point of view, the program has glitches and shortcomings, but it works on the latest versions of Windows. The program is easy to use, but it only allows you to evaluate the signal level coming from the access point and some information already listed in previous software products. The program does not see equipment manufacturers and does not always determine the model of the access point whose network it has detected. Moreover, the signal strength from the access point is also not always able to be determined. The appearance of the main program window is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5

The program does not provide filters in any way, therefore, for example, on the graph of the power distribution of available access points by channel, it is impossible to remove connections that are “uninteresting” for us, so it simply shows such uninformative stuffing (Figure 6):

Figure 6

Considering the incomplete performance of this program, it is rated, to put it mildly, “unsatisfactory.” The program is quite weak compared to other similar free software distributed throughout the Internet.

4. Outdated monitoring programs

The list of outdated programs includes those that either do not support “modern” Wi-Fi standards - IEEE 802.11n/ac, or no longer work under Windows 7/8/8.1/10. And the appearance of these programs is quite depressing, which is not pleasing to the eye.

Network Stumbler is a lightweight wireless network monitoring tool for Windows. Its development stopped at supporting 802.11 a/b/g standards, that is, it monitors the network only in the 2.4 band, excluding five gigahertz. The software works on Microsoft Windows systems up to and including XP.

WirelessNetView was once an excellent tool for monitoring Wi-Fi networks, but is now somewhat outdated.

Wireless Network Watcher - originally created for detecting and analyzing Wi-Fi networks. I used it myself once; the utility scanned local networks, including wireless ones. The program displays a list of all devices currently connected to the scanned network. The device information output table displays information such as: IP, MAC address, device name and adapter manufacturer. The list can be exported to HTML. On the issue of analyzing Wi-Fi networks, her attitude is rather mediocre, because in order to get information about a Wi-Fi network, you need to connect to it. In fact, it was included in this review simply because of its specific name.

Instead of a conclusion

The Acrylic Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Scanner programs listed above belong to the class of those free programs that keep up with the times and are capable of monitoring access points running on the relatively recently introduced IEEE 802.11ac. In addition to the programs reviewed, there are also equally famous ones that were not included in this review, among which inSSIDer is an entirely paid software recently. In addition, a large number of programs running Android OS, Mac OS and Linux are available on the network. But that is another story.

Wi-Fi, short for Wireless Fidelity, is one of the most used wireless communication standards in the modern world. Mobile Internet has not yet received widespread development due to limited technical capabilities and high cost. But there are different kinds of routers in every apartment and almost every office. Moreover, Wi-Fi zones are appearing in more and more parks, squares, and public transport. High-speed free access is one way to lure people to a cafe or supermarket.

It is not surprising that special applications that allow you to find available networks and show their characteristics are gaining popularity. Such programs are called scanners or analyzers. Before looking at what a Wi-Fi scanner is and how to use it, let's clarify what characteristics a network basically has and what useful things you can learn about it.

Wi-Fi network settings

Below are the main parameters of wireless networks that characterize their quality and availability:

Standard - affects speed, quality and encryption. The following standards exist:
1. 11b is the very first and practically not used now, with a low level of security, unreliable WEP encryption type, low speed up to 11 Mbit/sec.
2. 11g is more advanced, speed reaches 54 Mbps, supports WPA2 security protocol.
3. 11i is even more modern, supporting WPA2 encryption, speed 125 Mbit/s.
4. 11n - relevant today, provides higher throughput, coverage area, speed of 300 Mbit/s.
Different types of security:
1. WEP is not a very reliable option, since part of the key is dynamic and changes periodically, and is repeated at certain intervals, which makes it susceptible to hacking.
2. WPA - works on the same algorithm, but with a more frequently changing key and packet integrity protocol.
3. WPA2 is an improvement on WPA with a stronger encryption algorithm.
4. 1X is a security standard that includes several protocols and is used in corporate networks.
5. VPN is a virtual private network that provides almost 100% security and is also used for corporate networks.
Channel - frequency range on which the router operates. In Russia there are 13 channels with a frequency of 2.4 GHz, 3 of which do not overlap (1, 6 and 11). Some more expensive routers operate at a frequency of 5 GHz, there are a larger number of non-overlapping channels.

The Wi-Fi scanner is designed to collect information on the above indicators, as well as data about the network name (SSID), MAC address, and signal strength.

Scanning networks in Windows

Analyzers designed for Windows networks are the most functional and provide detailed information. In addition, they sometimes allow you to change settings where possible.

Where can such a scanner program be useful? If you need access to the network, then using it you can quickly analyze those in the access zone and not protected by a password. The application is also used to increase connection speed, as it allows you to analyze channel congestion and switch the router to a less loaded one, where there is less interference.

Popular programs for Windows OS are:

Download the program from the manufacturer's website (it provides a free trial) and install it on your computer.
A list of networks and their parameters is displayed at the top of the program window.
Below there are four tabs: a welcome tab with advertising, TimeGraph - shows a signal graph, then 2 tabs with a frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. They show channel usage graphs on those frequencies.
Look at the busiest channels: those on which a large number of routers intersect - and change yours to a freer one. Moreover, if there are channels that are equally loaded, but the routers have a weak signal on one of them, then it is better to choose it. There will be less interference and better speed.

Thus, using specially created software, it is possible to find free Wi-Fi networks and improve the speed of your router by switching to a less congested channel. The standard Windows utility does not have such capabilities. The router settings often include auto-selection, but it does not always work well. Such scanners also exist for Android and iOS mobile devices; they can be downloaded from PlayMarket and AppStore. They have fewer capabilities, but still allow you to obtain the necessary information.

One of the standard tips on what to do when there are problems with a wireless connection and low Wi-Fi speed is to change the router channel to one that is more free, since the presence of a large number of networks (yours and neighbors) on the same the same channels can lead to poor performance of these networks.

Finding free Wi-Fi channels is quite simple using special programs for analyzing wireless networks. Wi-Fi analysis apps are available for Android and programs for Windows or MacOS. This article will look at the first two options, which will most likely be sufficient. Once you have found a free channel, this may come in handy: .

Finding a free Wi-Fi channel using Android applications

I recommend this particular way to find a free channel for a router, since most people now have Android phones (tablets are also suitable), and applications for Wi-Fi analysis on them are completely free and are in Russian (for Windows, these two factors are more difficult) .

Wifi Analyzer

The first and, at the same time, free and simplest application for analyzing Wi-Fi networks, allowing you to find free channels - Wifi Analyzer, available in the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com .farproc.wifi.analyzer (be careful, there are many more applications under similar names, this one is fully working and has the best reviews).

After installing and launching the application, click on the eye icon at the top and select “Channel Graph”.

On the graph you will see a representation of your and neighboring networks (keep in mind that a network, say, on channel 6, also affects neighboring channels): their channels and power. At the top left of the graph you can switch the range (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz).

For example, in the screenshot above you can see that three networks are simultaneously located on one (6th) channel, and the freest channels will be channels 9-13 (here it is worth remembering that there are devices that do not see networks on channels after the 10th , and on the router, to be able to select these channels, you need to set the region to the Russian Federation). And the network on channel 3 is quite low-power (the router is probably located far away), i.e. if you choose channel 2-3 with communication, everything will probably be fine.

If you cannot choose the best channel yourself, look at the “channel ratings” (also by clicking on “Eye”). Channels with the most stars are the most preferred.

This is not the only Android application with the ability to view busy and free channels, but there are not many good ones. If you don't mind the English interface, you can also try Fritz App WLAN (available for free on the Play Store) - also a decent tool for analyzing Wi-Fi networks.

Looking for free Wi-Fi channels on a laptop or Windows computer

There are also programs for Windows 10-7 that allow you to analyze wireless networks and find a free Wi-Fi channel.

InSSIDer

The most popular of these programs is InSSIDer, but it is paid. However, by entering your data on the official website https://www.metageek.com/products/inssider/ you can get a trial key for the program for 7 days: this is quite enough to find a free channel. To obtain a trial license, click on the Download Trial button, enter the data and wait for the key to be sent to your email (it may take several minutes: I received it in about 15 minutes).

By launching InSSIDer, you will see a list of wireless networks in two bands, as well as a graph of their distribution by channel and power, similar to what can be seen in WiFi Analyzer.

If desired, you can change the ratio of panel sizes in the program to view in more detail information about available wireless networks and select a free channel for your network.

Acrylic Wi-Fi Home Free

Another similar program for Windows, available free of charge for home use, is Acrylic Wi-Fi Home Free, which can be downloaded from the official website https://www.acrylicwifi.com/ru/

In terms of searching for a free channel, it is very similar to other such programs, but if you want to see a graphical representation of Wi-Fi networks by channel and power, open the program settings menu and turn on Advanced Mode.

After this, you can switch views in the program, including displaying wireless networks with occupied channels for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

As you can see, finding free Wi-Fi channels (if available) is quite simple. But if they are missing, then perhaps it makes sense to think about purchasing a router that supports the 5 GHz band, which is still more free.

One of the most interesting programs for analyzing wifi performance is considered to be “wifi analyzer” for Windows.

With its advent, the task of finding channels and problems with them has become much easier.

And today we will look at why such an analyzer is needed and how to use it.

wifi analyzer – what is it?

The analyzer is a program that allows you to scan available networks and analyze the availability of the Internet. Its main task is:

analyze channel distribution;
analyze the signal quality;
carry out interference analysis;
issue a report bypassing analysis tools such as Aircrack.

Similar ones work in a slightly different direction, although they know how to conduct analysis.

You can download the application for free using the play market.

Download

What is wifi analyzer used for?

There are a huge number of programs that offer work on analyzing the Wi-Fi signal. The difference between them is not fundamental.

Somewhere the interface changes a little, somewhere some additional function is present. But the results of everyone’s work are approximately the same - the same tables with conclusions.

Today we will look at a completely new application that can easily make working with wifi easier. It is used for computers and Android phones.

Let's say you installed a router to distribute Wi-Fi in your home. It does not always happen that the settings are carried out efficiently the first time and the signal is received perfectly.

What is this connected with? The neighbors also have Internet, they also have a router and there are several media that can be connected to it.

These are the reason for your troubles with the signal. Simply interference caused by such a device.

The real find is that routers can work not on one channel, but use several of them. This is what an analyzer is required for.

It will help you decide on the most suitable channel that will not respond to extraneous interference.

Advice!

If you have a router in your home, be sure to download a free one or purchase a paid analyzer. You shouldn’t hope that the interference will go away on its own, and you definitely shouldn’t be content with little. Even if, after using the application, you deleted it, for example, to save space. You still have to contact him anyway.

Wi-Fi analyzer - a miracle program

By spending just a few seconds of your time, the user can easily get all the existing information about the fullness of the network and the quality of the received signal.

After checking, the user will have access to two tabs. The first contains data on the quality of the wifi channel.

This window will help you easily decide which of them would be most appropriate to join.

The second tab presents information for each channel individually. With its help, you will receive information about how much the option you are interested in is loaded.

Both pages are presented in table form. All networks are marked with different colors.

To the left of it are written all the found connection options.

In the upper right corner there is a program settings icon.

Advantages of the application and reviews about it

All reviews that were found on the Internet about this application are only positive.

Some users who have installed it on their phone boast that they no longer need to run through the streets looking for free Wi-Fi.

Advantages:

The big advantage of this program is that in a passive state it takes up practically no space;
for it to identify the signal, even its weak manifestation is enough;
there is a sensor to determine its strength;

You can turn on the sound. The better the command, the louder its alert sound will sound;
the application is free and accessible to anyone;
provides advisory advice on solving problems that have arisen;
automatically detects the existence of illegal devices and the presence of network vulnerabilities.

Where can I download the program?

The Wi-Fi analyzer is provided free of charge, and finding it on the Internet is not difficult.

1 For Android phones, it can be found on Google Play. This is the simplest option. It is very easy to do. Type a query like “download Wi-Fi analyzer program from Google Play” in the search bar and the required results will open to you. Follow the link provided by the system. In the application, next to the program we are interested in, there is only one “download” button. So it's impossible to make a mistake here. Click on it and wait for the results. After downloading, follow the system’s recommendations and install the application on your storage device without any problems.

2 On Windows 10, the official download source is the Microsoft website. It's free.

A feature or even a problem for this method is that for a successful result when downloading, you must have Windows at least version ten. If she is not like that, but the application is necessary. You'll have to make an update. If this is not done, downloading will simply be impossible.

Of course, you can install some alternative, for example, inSSIDer (which is paid), or Acrylic WiFi Professional. This is the user's choice.

When you run a network check on your computer, a message will be displayed that will tell you which one is the best option for the given area. It looks like this:

On the screen of an Android-based phone, the information is presented in approximately the same form.

The utility file analyzer is designed for installation on Windows tenth series release. If you have a different version of the software on your computer, tablet or laptop, installation will not be possible.

If you really need this application, you will need to update for Windows or use one of the program’s analogues.

Wifi Analyzer for Windows 10 on your computer looks like this.

– this is an indicator of the sensitivity of the receiver; This indicator displays the weakest signal level at which Wi-Fi operation is possible. For normal operation, the value of this section must be no less than 85 dBm. This indicator is quite enough for the device to work correctly.

– quality of the signal itself;

– network settings;

– mas – address of this network.

Below the scale there is a row of signs that indicate the signal level:

means that the supply is weak;
you chose not the best option among the channels;
the line used does not have access to the Internet;
The Internet is not secure.

A very convenient thing in some computers is the presence of a BSSID. Translated from English, this is a unique number that is assigned to a wireless Internet channel.

If such a function is present on your computer, it becomes possible to configure several access points at once.

One SSID can contain up to four BSSIDs.

What do you need to choose the best channel?

To make such settings, you need to go to the program tab called “Analyze”. Quality indicators of different types of channels will be displayed here.

The designations are deciphered as follows:

Wi-Fi performance of different users who live in the nearby range.
The force with which the apparatus of each of them works.
The channels themselves.

Based on the data in such a table, it is difficult to understand where the largest number of access points are located and to select the best option.

But this is not the most understandable option for ordinary people. It will be much more convenient if you enable the SSID parameter.

Then each line is signed with a specific name, which makes working with it easier.

The application is also very convenient because it not only carries out the analysis, but also displays the result in the form of a table with a rating of channels that are best suited for your device.

What to do if the signal quality has not improved after the settings?

If after all the parameters are set, and the supplied Internet still leaves much to be desired, you need to check the following points:

Try placing your router away from the wall. This will help remove the interference that comes from other people's devices. Moreover, these interruptions do not necessarily come from another router. They can be caused by any technique.
Move the device around the apartment until the best place with the highest quality signal and, accordingly, Wi-Fi speed is found.

Analyzer for Android

After downloading the program, there are no problems with it. To get started, just launch it. A check will begin for available network options and display the results on the screen.

This utility for a mobile phone is the most understandable and acceptable. Another advantage is that it requires virtually no free memory space.

After the analysis, information will appear on how actively this or that network is used in a given territory.

How often does the router operate? This entire history will be displayed in the “properties” and “channels” tabs.

If your settings are similar to the example, this means that the phone you are using is not blocked by any of the available networks. After all, they practically do not intersect with each other.

You can also find out information about how strong a particular signal is.

To do this, go to the “Properties” tab “Channels”. The performance rating will be displayed as stars.

Although such an application will not take up much space in the phone’s memory, after the test is completed, you can simply delete it and, if necessary, download it again. It does not take a lot of time.

On the phone version, there is also a tab with a speedometer, which is responsible for the signal frequency. This feature is very convenient.

To choose the best quality, the user needs to move around the area and pay attention to the arrow indicators.

When she is in her highest place, your search work is done.

Just like in the version for a personal computer, you can enable sound for this page.

Then, as the quality increases, the sound output from the device will also increase.
