You get called in because the Wi-Fi drops every afternoon, and the cause could be a crowded channel or something that isn't Wi-Fi at all. WiFi Explorer Pro 3 is a Wi-Fi analyzer for Mac for WLAN and IT professionals who design and troubleshoot wireless networks, from a small office up to an enterprise.

  • Scan in active, passive or directed mode, or remotely with a sensor such as the WLAN Pi.
  • Wi-Fi 4 through Wi-Fi 7 are covered, across the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands with channels up to 320 MHz.
  • Column profiles pull from more than 850 fields, and pinned columns stay in view while you scroll sideways.
  • Custom filters and coloring rules make the network you're chasing stand out during a specific troubleshooting task.
  • Got a capture from the field? Open .pcap, .pcapng or .pkt files, or import CSV scan results from tools like AirPort Utility and Aruba Utilities.
  • A connected spectrum analyzer, such as Wi-Spy Lucid or WiPry Clarity, shows non-802.11 interference next to your Wi-Fi data.
  • With a compatible USB adapter, nearby Zigbee networks appear alongside Wi-Fi, which helps on sites full of Zigbee IoT devices.

Requires a Mac with built-in Wi-Fi. Passive scan mode isn't available on M1 Apple silicon models.
