Net Scout

Comprehensive Network Scanning

Net Scout performs thorough scans of your surrounding area to detect all available WiFi networks. The app displays a complete list of networks with essential information at a glance:

• Network name (SSID)
• Signal strength (in dBm)
• Security type (WPA2, WPA3, Open, etc.)
• MAC address (BSSID)
• Channel number
• Frequency band (2.4GHz or 5GHz)

Real-time Signal Strength Monitoring

Monitor the signal strength of WiFi networks in real-time as you move around your space. This feature is particularly useful for:

• Finding the optimal location for your devices
• Identifying dead zones in your coverage
• Testing the range of your router
• Comparing signal strength between different networks

The app provides both numerical values (in dBm) and visual indicators to help you understand signal quality at a glance.

Channel Analysis and Optimization

WiFi performance can be significantly impacted by channel congestion. Net Scout helps you analyze channel distribution with:

• Visual channel distribution charts
• Identification of the most and least congested channels
• Recommendations for optimal channel selection
• Separate analysis for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands

This information helps you configure your router to use the least crowded channels for better performance.

Network Security Analysis

Security is crucial for WiFi networks. Net Scout helps you identify potential security issues by:

• Displaying the security type of each network (Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3)
• Highlighting unsecured networks
• Identifying networks using outdated security protocols
• Providing recommendations for secure network configuration

Advanced Sorting and Filtering

Easily find the information you need with flexible sorting and filtering options:

• Sort networks by signal strength
• Sort by channel number
• Filter by security type
• Filter by frequency band (2.4GHz or 5GHz)
• Search for specific network names
