Version: 2.6
Tell's me what is going on at different times of the day and wy the WiFi signal is what it is. Since a lot of people are home the WiFi signal changes a lot.

Version: 2.6
WiFi Explorer was very helpful to me this weekend in reconfiguring my home network. It displays more-or-less the same information as iStumbler, but has a nicer interface and is more stable.

Hi,
I'm unable to see device name on the APs with my new Macbook pro.
I have wifi explorer on my old MBP where I can see device name on the APs.
Does anyone have any idea why? I'm comparing with the same AP:s and can confirm that the Cisco Aironet IE are enabled.

Version: 2.5
Recommended for any network troubleshooting. Provides excellent graphical UI and detailed technical data for all networks that your mac can see. Can try before you buy, so if you are interested in your network, this app is worth a try.

Version: 2.4.3
WiFi Explorer works reliably and provides excellent info. Easy to see if my WiFi is connecting on the 2.4 or 5 GHz channel group (which one cannot tell from Apple's WiFi info). Helps in busy WiFi environment -- office or apartment buildings.

Version: 2.4
v.2.4 rock solid on High Sierra. Worth every penny if in a dense WI-FI environment. Best of the WI-FI "spectrum analyzers" by far.

Version: 2.3.3
Very useful to visualize the WiFi channels of all my idiot neighbors so I can choose the best channel with the least interference.

Version: 2.2
no trial possible, after first run it told me, no trial time left..... dev: any idea ?

Version: 2.1.1
Would love to activate my purchase, but instead I simply get "Could not connect to the server." Will try again later...

Version: 2.1.1
While this product gives extensive information about the actual network it unfortunately does not seem to do what I need, which is to proved detailed information about each connected wifi device connected to the network - i.e. LAN info. Otherwise I would have purchased it.

Version: 2.1
I have tested similar apps, but this really is the best one!

Version: 1.6.1
Latest version 1.7 is much improved with regards to the display of information and the overall user experience. Vastly superior to similar products costing many times more.
Aug 13 2014
Version: 1.6.1
New version v.1.6.2 available on the App Store.
Agree with Eric-Woehler and Neil-m.
Very useful and rock-solid app at a fair price.

Version: 1.4
I would recommend this app - I have iStumbler (free) and AirRadar ($20). I find it more useful than iStumbler and it is a lot cheaper than AirRadar. Easy to use, excellent GUI, rock solid performance and very reasonable price. Can't get much better than that! Worth trying out, and I suspect once you have tried it, you will continue to use it.

Version: 1.3
Attractive UI and easy to use. The reasons I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are that a) it occasionally blanks out the graphical and tabular display of networks, and b) it can't see my hidden 802.11n 2.4 GHz network, even though my MacBook Pro can see it
