Universal Any good apps for Wi-Fi Channel analysing? For IPhone and Ipads

[Marty_Macfly]

Hi all,



RE: Wi-Fi Channel analyser
How anyone found a app that would work on Ipad? Or Iphone?

Unfortunately I am in a really congested place, where everyone‘s Wi-Fi is on the same channels as others. I keep needing to a hop onto a quiet channel for Better speed

I’ve got this kind of app on the windows laptop, but a real pain to boot up the laptop to just check this.

Hope you can advise

Check out Apple's AirPort Utility. You can scan for local WiFi and then look at channel strength data for individual channels on a selected SSID.

If you get it, under Settings for the app, you have to enable Wi-Fi Scanner to be able to scan for all visible networks.

2. Go to app
3. THEN - Turn on WI-FI Scanner

No problem. I remembered there was a trick to it because I ran into the same problem.
