WiFi Hopper was designed to redefine your wireless experience.
Unlike tradition wireless network management software, the WiFi Hopper user interface is extremely responsive. No complicated menus! No complex settings! WiFi Hopper won't leave you wondering whether you are connected to a wireless network or not!
WiFi Hopper includes a NDIS driver to ensure that it has the exclusive access it needs to manage the wireless cards. Irrespective or the state of other wireless network management programs, WiFi Hopper always has the proper access rights to the wireless hardware device. All information displayed on WiFi Hopper is as current as it gets!
Tired of switching between different wireless networks? WiFi Hopper automatically connects to open wireless networks based on present and past signal strengths!
As soon as a wireless network becomes unavailable or its signal strength starts dropping rapidly, WiFi Hopper automatically jumps to the next available network for you!
