WiFi Analyzer: Network Tools

Shame on me for not paying close attention to the MAC address limitation with this app (i.e. it does not list the MAC address and vendor associated with it when you are using OS11). Fortunately I have an older iPad that can view this information.

Frustrating right off the bat. Had a severe speed problem and needed to get evidence. Went to the speed twstscreen first and saw 'no history available' message. That helps me not at all. Then I saw the little 'start' link at top right. Touched it, nothing, touched a few more times, seemed to start. But when the network speed went to zero, with wifi signal good, instead of showing this as zero speed in the time graph, it just stopped the graph for the rest of the sample time, and gave a speed result under the graph that should have been a very low number, but it seemed to be the average of when the network traffic was flowing. Same for both down and up speed. I think this app was developed more for testing the performance of a fully working network and the dev did not consider how an intermittent data flow should be graphed. Now I have to just get a simple ping app and look for the failures across hundreds of pings. Thought this app would be better solution.

Great helper for managing my home network as it grows. I use it regularly to search MAC and IP addresses of my devices. The interface is well designed and simple for my iPhone use and this app works without any errors. It’s a great basic networking app and a must have for any IOS user who needs to do basic checking about their network connection.
