inSSIDer

inSSIDer is a wireless network signal scanning tool that can work under Vista and 64-bit XP. Users can quickly find hotspots and MAC addresses around the user through inSSIDer, including network name, encryption method, wireless transmission rate and other main information. Friends who need to download and use inSSIDer can download it directly from the Huajun Software Park for free.

inSSIDer

By searching for wireless hotspots through inSSIDer, we can see the main information of each hotspot such as the MAC address, network name (SSID), wireless signal strength, channel used, encryption method, wireless transmission rate and network type, which is very comprehensive. In addition, below this basic information, we can also view the signal strength and stability of each wireless hotspot in each time period (ordinate: signal strength, abscissa: time period), where the higher the ordinate, the stronger the signal strength, and the smoother the abscissa, the more stable the wireless signal.

2.4GHz frequency band channel usage

Check the channel usage of the 2.4GHz frequency band, which is a very bright feature of inSSIDer (ordinate: signal strength, abscissa: channel 14). Here we can not only see the wireless channel occupied by each wireless hotspot, but also the signal strength of the hotspot. At this time, a wireless hotspot with strong signal strength and uncongested channels is your choice.

5GHz frequency band channel usage

Check the channel usage of the 5GHz band. This is an avant-garde function prepared by inSSIDer for the majority of users. The display effect is the same as that of the 2.4GHz band. I believe that when dual-band wireless networks become popular, inSSIDer will also bring you choices.

How to use inSSIDer:

Search for nearby wireless signals, as shown in the figure:

The searched wireless signals are shown in Figure 2, with a total of 12 columns of information.

Column 1 is the MAC address of the wireless router or AP.

Column 2 is the SSID.

Column 3 is the signal strength, green is the best signal, yellow is second, brown is third, and red is the worst. Comparison shows that the smaller the number, the better the signal.

Column 4 is the channel, which is also called channel in some routers.

The wireless network protocol can be selected from 802.11b, g, n, automatic and B+G mixed. 802.11b, g, and n respectively indicate wireless transmission rates of 11M, 54M, and 150M, among which b and g do not support dual channels.

If you choose 802.11b 802.11g, you get:

Column 5 is the encryption method.

Column 6 is the MAC address.

Column 7 is the wireless network protocol.

Select an SSID on the left to view the information of the wireless network, as follows:

Among them, Channels 1-14 are in the 2.4GHZ range, and Channels 36-165 are in the 5GHZ range.

The larger the Link Score value, the better the wireless network performance.

MAC Address This is a unique identifier that identifies the SSID of a wireless network.
