The first thing you need is to scan for all the networks, and the app automatically displays the relevant information related to the network. Also, the app has inbuilt IP tools, augmented flow graphs and strengths of the networks according to the application. The scanning process only takes few seconds, and you're all ready to rock.

Frankly speaking, the app offers more than you can expect from a free version. The AP ( Articulation Points) graph is very useful when you need to scan and verify the speed of your network connection. The app is compatible to test out the speed for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks.

Moreover, if you're concerned with enhancing the speed of your system, then the app allows you to view the surrounding networks and the channels. The app will also display surrounding networks and the channels that they're sending out signals on. So, you can easily choose the best channel on which your network could work on. It is fairly an excellent way of increasing the speed.

The thing I liked the most about the app is the block feature. It often comes in handy when you need to stop a device from using your network to access the internet. You can quickly detect the device which is using your network. It is mainly for the networks which have weak passwords. Otherwise, you can also change your network key.

The tool is free to use but contains ads as a source of revenue, and everyone knows how irritating these ads are on your smartphones, popping at weird times. Nonetheless, you can purchase the pro version of Wifi Analyzer for a price of $0.99.

  • Dozens of Network Tools like AP Scan and Graph.
  • Simple UI & Fast Access to Features.
  • Block Devices from the app.
  • Integrated Speed Test.
    Sometimes during the scanning process, the app tends to crash on my Tablet, but I presume that's the device problem. So, please let me know if you're having such trouble or not.

Wifi Analyzer - Home Wifi Alert is a beastly version of typical network scanner and analyzer. You can use all the offered features to increase the speed of your connection. So, if you have a home network connection, then this is a good app to gain the full control over your network. Cheers!
