WiFi On Demand

Finding a free WiFi network while on vacation can be a nightmare. Using advanced GPS technology, AirRadar scans and places all networks on a map. While walking or driving, AirRadar automatically updates the location of networks when it finds a better signal elsewhere.

Open networks are clearly marked with a green dot, and closed networks with a red dot. Simply throw the laptop on the passenger seat before leaving the house for the day, and after a day of driving, have a comprehensive map of open networks!

Saved GPS Maps

Save WiFi scan logs for future use when travelling back to a different city. Even share these logs with others.

Graphing

Graphing network signal strength over a period of time can help identify if other devices cause interference when they are turned on.

System Admins

From viewing advanced router info to identifying unused channels, AirRadar helps System Administrators determine the best router configuration for an environment.

Enhance Home WiFi

In modern households, it's common for families to have a WiFi router. In apartment buildings and dense city areas, hundreds of WiFi signals can often be picked up from a single spot.

AirRadar can provide insight to optimizing your home network and reducing interference from other signals. The calmest, or even unused, WiFi channels are presented with every scan.

Fills a gap left wide open by other wi-fi apps and even Apple’s own built-in scanner.

Greg Ellis

AirRadar is a very useful app in my MacBook Pro, which helps me mapping the WiFi networks around me. Two are the most important features for me: the list showing open, closed, and ad hoc networks; and the ability to connect to the strongest network. I use the first feature mainly when I'm in a new place/ area, with no known networks around, and no will to pay for a connection :) . Then, a fast scanning for open networks can save me some bucks! I also use it when I've previously established a connection with a friends' or colleague's laptop or other device, which can be found under ad hoc networks. On the other hand, I find the second feature very useful when I'm in a busy place, with a lot of free or previously accessed Wi-Fi's, such as in a mall or an airport. Then, connecting to the best network really speeds up my portable productivity (even if that simply means focusing just on online gaming :) ).

very helpful in home wifi to determine position of routers and repeaters

Found everything there was to find in the mess of networks on my block without any issues.

Donald Sorren

Easy to use wifi finder

Patrick Mock

I don’t know if I’ll every get tired of watching those graphs tick up and down.

Len Harding

So useful when traveling! Apple's built-in airport scanner has nothing on what this app can do. Easy to use, nice interface, extremely handy. Highly recommended!

Richard Kellington

Great app. It really helps me find uncongested wifi channels.

Phil Enslin

The best looking and most functional status graphs I’ve ever seen in a networking application.

John Farnsworth

An invaluable resource both on the road and at home.
