  • Wifivienfo Download for Windows 10 Wifiinfoview for Windows
    wifivienfo download for windows 10 WifiInfoView for Windows. WifiInfoView is a free utility tool that gives users detailed information about all available wireless networks in the vicinity. Designed for Windows, the software monitors each network and comes up with details like router name and model, channel number, MAC address, signal quality, and more. With this data, users can find and connect to a Wi-Fi channel that’s fast and has fewer users. The beginner-friendly application doesn’t require any installation and lets users export all data. What is WifiInfoView? If you’re a Microsoft Windows user, you must be aware of the limited information the OS provides about available Wi-Fi networks. That means, when you’re struggling with slow network speeds, you have no technical information to help you locate and solve the problem. WifiInfoView download is a handy tool that can get you details about all the networks available in your vicinity without much effort. Once launched, the app runs a comprehensive scan and displays information such as signal quality , frequency band, SSID or network name, channel number, router model, BSS type, and MAC address. With these details at your disposal, you can make a few changes to your network connection and get a stronger and faster signal . Does the app have a simple installation process? After you complete WifiInfoView download , you don’t need to go through an installation process. Instead, you need to click on the executable file that you have and run the program. Once launched, the app starts to scan all available networks and starts displaying them on the dashboard.

  • Netzwerk/Wifi Scanner & Sniffer!?
    Erledigt Suche: Netzwerk/Wifi Scanner & Sniffer!? Beitrag von „Ghostbuster“ vom 31. August 2016, 10:29 Heute habe ich mein kleines Netbook nach langer Zeit neu mit El Capitan installiert und nun suche ich obige Programme;( Selbst hatte ich damals diverse installiert und eines davon hat mir au oder linken Seite ein Register angeboten indem alle WLAN-Netzwerke angezeigt wurden. Diese konnte ich dann beliebig aktivieren und habe dann in der Mitte der App die Signalstärke in Echtzeit als Diagramm und Pott gesehen! Weis wer welche App mir das möglich macht, ich dacht sie wäre kostenlos gewesen! Und welche Empfehlungen habt ihr zum Thema eurer Seite? Zudem, wie starte ich die gute alte "Wi-Fi Diagnostic" unter EC, finde die App nicht unter "/System/Library/CoreServices" (Grr.. mit Option-Taste+klick auf das WLAN-Symbol ind der Leiste kann man die Dias starten, aber die neu macht ja überhaupt keine Echtzeit-Auswertung mehr, was für ein Mist! Was ist mit der guten alten passiert..) Ich würde mich über reichliche Antworten freuen, da ich auf dem kleine hier dringest vernünftige Software benötige um meine Analysen weiter zu machen. Verflixt das ich mir das nicht raus geschrieben hatte, aber jetzt ist es schon zu spät:( Beitrag von „thokis“ vom 31. August 2016, 11:06 Meinst du vielleicht KisMAC 2 ? https://www.hackintosh-forum.de/forum/thread/28289-suche-netzwerk-wifi-scanner-sniffer/ 1 Beitrag von „Ghostbuster“ vom 31. August 2016, 11:15 Auch das war ein cooles Tool, leider down hier in DE (KisMAC) Ich habe die 3.3er noch aber die zeigt mir nicht mehr alles richtig an.
