About:
inSSIDer is a Wi-Fi scanner and network analyzer that visualizes nearby wireless networks, their channels, and signal strengths. It helps users identify channel interference, optimize router placement, and troubleshoot connectivity issues. The tool provides actionable insights to improve Wi-Fi performance and defeat slow speeds.

Key Features:

Visual network discovery and signal strength mapping
Channel utilization and interference analysis
Detailed network information (SSID, BSSID, security, band)
Real-time monitoring and performance metrics

Use Cases:

Optimizing home Wi-Fi placement and channel selection
Diagnosing slow network performance and interference issues
Enterprise wireless site surveys and spectrum analysis

Alternatives:

NetSpot – Site survey tool with heat mapping; more focused on planning than quick scanning
WiFi Explorer – Similar scanning capabilities; Mac-only alternative with comparable features
