Monitor wireless adapters and WiFi access points

For Windows

  • Test your WiFi hardware and setup
  • Check signal levels of your home or office WiFi networks
  • Measure network speed and throughput
  • Locate sources of interference to your network
  • Scan for hot spots in your local area (wardriving)

Feature-rich WiFi diagnostic tool

WiFi Network Overview
Measure network speed and stability
Wireless LAN information

View a detailed list of all the access points your network card detects, plus your connected network. See details such as Status, SSID, the principle channel the network is using, channel width, security settings, supported data rates, MAC addresses plus information such as the time period the access point was first seen and when it was last active.

Track the number of dropouts per access point, useful when checking long term stability.

Extensive Signal Strength Mapping

Map Signal Strength
Hex Mapping
Contour Mapping
Signal Strength Loss Mapping

Create Signal Strength Maps (aka heatmaps) of your home, office or local neighbourhood. Determine areas of weak Wi-Fi signal that might require signal repeaters, or areas which are congested with other Wi-Fi networks.

WirelessMon supports GPS for logging and Mapping, though you can create maps without the use of a GPS device.

Optimised Channel Selection

WirelessMon includes multiple features which highlight channel usage and congestion across the detected access points in your location. Our Spectrum Analyser visualises these networks across both their channel and signal strength in dBm – quickly allowing you to identify areas of congestion and effectively identify a channel what could be used as a new access point.

WirelessMon can identify and display channel width. This is visualised in the graph where an access point using 40Mhz channels is displayed as twice the width of an access point using 20Mhz channels. Support for graphing channels up to 160Mhz width is included.

Connect via a MAC Address

WirelessMon has the ability to display intermittent and hidden access points - those with a MAC address, but not a SSID. The access point connection window allows you to connect to an Access point via a MAC address. This can be used when there are multiple Access Points with the same name.

Compatibility

wireless Compatibility

Any wireless adapter that complies with the NDIS_802.11 (which is most of them) should be able to report information to WirelessMon. All the various IEEE 802.11 standards are supported, including 802.11a/b/g/n, 802.11ac/ax (also known as Wi-Fi 1 to Wi-Fi 6).

Some Garmin USB GPS devices (developed using the standalone OEM USB units) are supported via a USB connection.

Windows 7, 10 & 11 support this software.
