WiFiman
WiFiman is a network utility for finding UniFi devices, checking wireless performance and remotely reaching a UniFi network. Its mobile app tests upload and download speeds over Wi-Fi or cellular connections. With a UniFi Gateway, it can also show signal strength, throughput, latency and roaming between access points. On LiDAR-equipped mobile devices, Floorplan Mapper records signal strength across areas to help visualize coverage and device roaming. The Discovery tab displays IP addresses and other identifying information for devices on the connected Wi-Fi network. Teleport provides remote access through a zero-configuration VPN, but requires a compatible UniFi gateway. It uses WireGuard to encrypt traffic; Ubiquiti says Teleport does not store user data. Invitations expire after 24 hours and are usable by one device at a time. Desktop editions support UniFi Device Discovery and Teleport VPN, while the other listed features are mobile-only. WiFiman is free, with Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux support. Desktop installers are listed for Windows x86-64 and ARM64, macOS Intel and Apple Silicon, and Linux AMD64.
