WiFi Analyzer
WiFi Analyzer is a macOS application that turns observable WiFi metadata into spectrum views, channel planning, signal surveys, and security observations.
What WiFi Analyzer is
WiFi Analyzer is a macOS application that turns observable WiFi metadata into spectrum views, channel planning, signal surveys, and security observations. It scans the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands and refreshes every 1–30 seconds. Channel tools detect overlap, score congestion, analyze band steering, and provide recommendations. For site surveys, users can load floor plans, measure signal strength at clicked locations, create IDW-interpolated heatmaps, and export them as PNG. Named scan sessions, side-by-side comparisons, roaming logs, and trusted network profiles support ongoing review. Scan data exports as CSV or JSON, while charts export as PNG or PDF. Security checks look for open networks, weak encryption, SSID inconsistencies, rogue access point indicators, evil twin-like patterns, and beacon anomalies. The maker says it does not capture packets, so results are metadata-based heuristics. Plans include a 14-day trial, 5.00 EUR monthly, 4.00 EUR yearly billed 48 EUR/year, and 65.00 EUR one-time Lifetime v1.
Good
- Scans 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands
- Channel recommendations and congestion scoring
- Floor-plan heatmaps for site surveys
- CSV, JSON, PNG, and PDF exports
- Named sessions and roaming logs
Watch out
- Available only on macOS
- No free plan
- Security results do not inspect packets
- Monthly plan costs 5.00 EUR
Who it suits
It suits macOS users who need channel analysis, WiFi surveys, historical comparisons, exports, and metadata-based security review. It is useful for workflows that include floor plans and vendor remediation guidance.
Verdict
WiFi Analyzer combines spectrum review, survey mapping, exports, and heuristic security checks in a macOS app. Its packet-inspection limitation and paid-only model are important before choosing it.
