What it is

WiFiAnalyzer is a free Android application for examining nearby Wi‑Fi signals and channels. It finds nearby access points and shows their signal strength, then graphs channel strength and rates channels to support channel selection. The app covers 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, with HT/VHT channel-width detection when the device’s hardware and software support those features. Filters can narrow results by band, signal strength, security, or SSID, and access-point details can be exported. A time graph follows the signal strength of a selected access point. WiFiAnalyzer estimates access-point distance from signal strength and frequency using the Free-space path loss model, although obstacles and electronic devices can reduce accuracy. The maker says it collects no personal or device information and needs no internet access. It is GPLv3-licensed, publishes a SHA-256 certificate fingerprint for GitHub APKs, and accepts bug reports and feedback through GitHub.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Free Android app
  • Analyzes 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands
  • Filters and exports access-point details
  • Tracks signal history over time
  • No internet access required

Limits

  • Distance estimates can be affected by obstacles
  • Hardware and software limit channel-width detection
