About wifiscanner

Wifiscanner is a nifty utility that does exactly what the name would suggest. It scans for WIFI signals and displays their strength and channel number.

Reviewers, please follow the Support URL and open an issue there if you encounter problems. The application reviews are not the place to leave bug reports. They are not regularly monitored and there are no notifications sent when a review is posted.

If the application crashes for you on startup, try again with wifi enabled beforehand as a workaround. An issue has been opened and will be looked into in future.


Wifiscanner was originally written by Michael Zanetti.
