What it is

WiFi Scanner is commercial desktop software from AccessAgility LLC for investigating wireless signal, interference, coverage, and possible causes of WiFi problems. Its live access point grid shows signal, channel, width, security, vendor, and last-seen details, with alerts for interference and weak security. WiFi Survey and Planner provide walk-through and predictive coverage heatmaps, AP-on-a-Stick capture, and post-validation heatmaps. Copilot groups diagnostic action cards by category and provides finding counts and filter-aware recommendations. Performance tools cover throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, and network-quality monitoring; LAN discovery identifies switches, access points, and other equipment. WebViewer allows a live scan to be shared by link without requiring viewers to install the app, and the software exports CSV data and reports. It supports Windows 10/11 on a 64-bit host and macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel. The 7-day trial includes all features without a credit card. Afterward, scanning continues in the background, but viewing live results requires a paid licence. Core costs $195 a year, billed once rather than as a subscription.
