A free WiFi wireless network scanner with signal strength.
inSSIDer is a wireless networking utility that allows you to find wireless networks in your area and control, in a graphics mode, the intensity of their signals.
Specifically, inSSIDer can detect any wireless networks that offers coverage in your area and will list all the details in the main user interface: SSID, MAC address, channel, RSSI, security and network type, speed and intensity of the signal.
Furthermore, using a plot, inSSIDer will allow you to monitor the quality of the signal as a control parameter using the indicator that reflects the strength or intensity of the received radio signal (RSSI).
User interface
The user interface of inSSIDer is designed to be easy to use and navigate. It consists of a main window with a menu bar at the top and various tabs and panels for accessing different features and settings.
In the main window, you can see a list of the wireless networks that are within range of your computer, along with details such as the network name, channel, signal strength, and security type. You can also see a graphical representation of the wireless spectrum, which shows the relative strength of the different networks.
The menu bar at the top of the window allows you to access various features of inSSIDer, such as the option to scan for wireless networks or to customize the settings of the application.
The various tabs and panels in the main window allow you to access different features and settings of inSSIDer. For example, the "Channel Planner" tab allows you to see which channels are in use by the different wireless networks, and the "Filters" panel allows you to filter the list of networks based on various criteria.
In closing
Overall, the user interface of inSSIDer is well-organized and easy to use, making it simple to scan for wireless networks and view the details of the networks that are within range.
