outSSIDer

outSSIDer is a lightweight tool that can detect the wireless networks in your area. This application comes in handy if the area where you are located hosts multiple wireless network adapters.

The user interface is simple, and you should be able to master this program in no time. No special computer skills are required when working with this tool, as the application bundles a minimalist window that displays the accessible WiFi networks.

This is a simple-to-use program that doesn’t come packed with advanced features, as it only focuses on automatically establishing a WiFi connection. It plays a sound notification whenever it attempts to connect to a WiFi spot or fails in initializing the process.

outSSIDer cannot display details about the frequency and the maximum network speed, or help you identify the local access points that are safe to connect to.

During our testing we have noticed that the program manages to carry out a task pretty quickly and without errors. As it would be expected from such a tool, it also manages to remain light on the system resources.

To sum things up, outSSIDer offers a simple software solution that will lend you a hand if you want to connect to a wireless access point on the go. Since there aren’t any configuration settings and the application manages to connect to different wireless spots automatically, this program is very well suited for beginners, as well as for other users who don’t want to spend a lot of time setting up network searches or other WLAN configurations.
