It shows similar network details as a Wi-Fi stumbler, but also generates a heatmap of the Wi-Fi so you can visualize the signal levels. Version 1. The app offers the option to create a floorplan or layout of the building being surveyed or a grid layout for a rough guideline. It includes the main network details, but lacks the signal levels in dBm and percentage values. It only shows signal bars on the list. The app shows Like other map-based survey tools, you click your location on the map as you walk around the building so it can generate the heatmap.
It will automatically estimate access point AP locations and place them onto the map. After it captures some data, hovering over the AP icons shows their individual coverages. When hovering over the heatmap areas, it shows a tooltip pop-up with the signal level range in negative dBm values. The only export or saving functionality of the app is taking a simple screenshot of the heatmap. Though it lacks any advanced features, it could be used for small networks or to give an idea of how these map-based tools work.
Homedale is a relatively simple and portable Windows-based stumbler with an optional command-line interface. Other than showing basic network and signal details, it supports GPS and other geolocation detection. This is a review of version 1. This utility has a simple GUI that resembles more of a multi-tabbed dialog box than a full application.
The Access Points tab shows many essential details. One feature we liked allows saving notes to individual SSIDs, which are then included in any data exports.
The Frequency Usage tab displays channel visualizations for the 2. They do the job of showing channel usage including channel-bonding and signal strength, but it would be nice if they had a single view of the entire 5GHz band instead of dividing it into four different graphs. For a free application, Homedale offers great exporting capabilities.
It supports saving the network list as a CSV, logging networks from every scan useful if moving while scanning , and saving an image of each graph.
Although the GUI is very simple, Homedale provides some advanced functionality. We were impressed with its exporting, logging and location-aware features. LizardSystems offers a free edition of their Wi-Fi Scanner application for non-commercial use, which has the same features and functionality as their paid product. This is a review of version 3. In addition to the Wi-Fi stumbling, it offers some great analysis and reporting capabilities. Along with the typical details, it shows signal strength in both negative dBm values and percentages.
