In addition, it is distinguished by its compatibility with GPS, being able to integrate into Google Earth to display WiFi networks. We will be able to know details such as the status of the network, the MAC address, the SSID, the signal strength, the channel number and the type of network. The program is able to find wireless LANs using WLAN standards like IEE like 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. Later, it will be in charge of verifying the network configurations, helping us to detect unauthorized access points. The tool is responsible for using the WiFi API that Windows incorporates by default to collect all kinds of wireless information, as well as locate possible access points. The application is responsible for scanning complete wireless networks within the range of our router. It is a free and open source WiFi network scanning tool.

The vast majority are free, so we can try them to see which one is best suited. Next, we are going to see a series of applications that will allow us to see the WiFi networks that are around us. Programs to view and analyze WiFi networks It must be taken into account that the signals of the WiFi network can change frequently and constantly so that any small change in the network can cause important effects on the connection. These programs collect information about the access points and channels on your network, displaying them in a visually accessible and easy-to-understand way for any user. These applications allow you to browse 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz networks, to see their channels and signal strength. For this reason, it is important to choose specialized programs in network security to locate and eliminate unauthorized access points, avoiding interference between channels and getting rid of false intrusion alerts. This serves us as an important part of security.

The most efficient way to obtain this type of information is by studying wireless networks. When we work with a WiFi network that provides us with good coverage, we may need to carry out research on the behavior of the signal in the place where we are.
