Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector

Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector is a software solution that can help you monitor the Wi-Fi networks of your laptop or network adapter. This application allows you to perform several actions, such as searching for Wi-Fi networks, displaying connectivity issues, detecting rogue access points, and verifying AP settings and Wi-Fi coverage.

Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector sports a clean and user-friendly interface that displays detailed information about the current Wi-Fi connection, such as SSID, BSSID, channel, signal level, and network mode. If you don’t get an idea of how this program works, a help menu is included.

A dynamic radar allows you to view the name of the networks and relative distances between them, based on the strength of their Wi-Fi signal.

The application is also able to display a dynamic table of all Wi-Fi networks available. The list is automatically updated, provided that you have specified the time interval, and offers details about the name of the Wi-Fi network, signal, default encryption mode and authentication details, network mode, vendor, BSSID, channel, frequency, network type, and graph.

It is possible to sort or group networks by signal strength, SSID and others. Filtering the networks is particularly simple. The app also features a signal history window that displays a graph with the detected Wi-Fi networks and their signal strength level.

Moreover, it is possible to perform three tests that could tell you more about your Wi-Fi network, such as connection, quality and speed tests. A dedicated window displays the final results (pass, warning or fail).

You can select a radar or sonar style sweep animation for the widget, and enable or disable sounds. The network list can be exported to CSV.

To sum things up, Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector proves to be a reliable tool for monitoring the Wi-Fi networks. It’s easy to work with, and can be mastered by both beginners and experts.
