WiFiAnalyzer
WiFiAnalyzer is an IEEE 802.11 network analyzer and signal monitor used to scan wireless access points, monitor signal strength, and identify network specifications. It functions as a wireless hardware diagnostic tool and site survey system for collecting and exporting detailed wireless network metadata.
The project distinguishes itself through capabilities for calculating approximate physical proximity to networks using received signal strength indicators and mapping signal levels across frequencies to identify channel congestion. It also includes a wireless spectrum visualizer for graphing signal strength over time to track stability and detect interference.
Broad capabilities cover network analysis, hardware diagnostics, and signal monitoring. This includes identifying hardware vendors through organizational identifier lookups, evaluating supported frequency bands and channel widths, and rating wireless channels to determine the least congested options for router configuration.
Users can manage captured data by filtering network results and exporting detailed access point information to structured files for external reporting.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
