A WiFi Scanner is a software or web application that helps users to detect and analyze the wireless networks available in the local area. It provides detailed information about the wireless networks such as SSID, signal strength, channel, security type, MAC address, and more. It will also allow users to troubleshoot and optimize the network performance by analyzing the network traffic. It can be used to identify potential security threats such as unauthorized access points, rogue access points, and weak signal strength. It can also be used to find the best channel for the WiFi network and to optimize the signal strength. In addition, a WiFi Scanner can be used to identify which devices are connected to the WiFi network and to monitor their usage.
