Wi-Fi Monitor - Wi-Fi Network Info & Scanning

The Wi-Fi Monitor app provides comprehensive real-time information about wireless networks and connected devices. It displays detailed network statistics including signal strength measured in dBm, frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), channel information, and connection speeds. The app shows both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, DHCP configuration, gateway details, and DNS server information. It supports modern Wi-Fi standards including 802.11n, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and Wi-Fi Direct capabilities. Additionally, it offers visual representations of network performance with signal strength percentages and channel utilization graphs, allowing users to monitor multiple networks simultaneously and identify the best available connections.

HELP

New releases of Android have introduced limitations on Wi-Fi functionality, so if something is malfunctioning, refer to this assistance section.

If your device does not show a list of networks and is running Android 6.0 or above, ensure that location permissions have been granted.

If the permissions are enabled, verify that location services are activated. Certain devices with Android 7.0 and later may require this as well.

If your device lists an unknown SSID, it likely needs permission, along with activated location settings for the latest Android versions.

If no devices are found on your network, press scan (or deep scan for public networks).

If you’re using Android 13, you can extend the timeout by selecting the "..." button

* For Android 11 and above, your device’s MAC address may be restricted with target sdk30

Theme
