To conclude, inSSIDer is a lightweight and intuitive utility that provides the necessary tools and features to scan for neighboring Wi-Fi networks, monitor their performance and compare their signal strength thanks to the built-in graph generator. The color code used by the application allows you to quickly and effortlessly identify a network and compare its signal strength with the signal of other networks. InSSIDer also comes with a fullscreen view that enables you to avoid distractions and focus on the real-time generated graphs. By clicking on any of the discovered networks, you can highlight the graph line and view the performance of the selected Wi-Fi signal. The 2.4 GHz and 5GHz Channels tabs help you visualize the channel used by all nearby networks. The built-in graph generator helps you track and monitor the signal strength of the selected network over a period of time. If you need to do throughput testing simultaneously, I recommend using two Wi-Fi adapters: one for inSSIDer, and one for throughput testing (my. We have to do that about 38 times to cover all 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. inSSIDer also feature a user-oriented interface from which you can sort the detected networks according to the Received Signal Strength, Channel used, Hardware Vendor name, Max transfer Rate, Mac Address, Network Type and Security encryption method. To 'scan' for networks, we hop on a channel, send a probe request, listen for probe responses, and hop to the next channel. InSSIDer promises to help you track and monitor secure and open wireless networks and find the best channel for your own Wi-Fi network. If you are interested in nearby Wi-Fi networks and need to track their signal strength and view the number of channel used, the RSSI value, vendor, network type, security type, MAC address and max rate you might want to put inSSIDer on your wish list. InSSIDer is a handy and very easy-to-use Wi-Fi scanner capable to detect and monitor the signal strength of wireless networks that can be reached by your Mac’s wireless card.
