WiFi Analyzer

I really love this app, it gives me some great info on my wireless network and what it is doing or not doing. I find it a very useful app to have around and check on my network from time to time.

Just by using this app, you'll be able to see how your network is performing, and be able to make decisions to improve it. After determining that my wifi was competing on the same channel with my neighbors, I was able to make a few tweaks that improved both its speed and reliability. Now I just use WiFi Analyzer to see what networks are around, just for fun.

Its an awesome app, but some features aren't as obvious as others. Feedback: I think you should make the purpose bottom right buttons clearer and easier to spot, as I was struggling to figure out how to switch to 5G network for a solid 5 minutes. I'd suggest moving the buttons to the top of the window, as this is where I'd typically expect them to be, and leaving the names of the button on instead of making them disappear. Although this app may not be intended for complete novices to computers, there are some things that could use clarification. For instance, make it clear what the 100% improved chart means. This might be in some "about" page, but I was unable to find it (ties in to my earlier complaint). Another miscellaneous issue is that the app gives EVERY 5Ghz channel 10 stars. Whatever a channel is. Edit: Halfway in writing this review I finally found the about button. It's really more of a troubleshooting guide than an explaination, but theres always Google.

I don't find the speed test portion helpful, but I like how it shows all the available networks (even ones Windows does not) with more details, and signal strength.
