Find and optimise wireless networks with Wirelessmon

Getting wireless networks to work well can be a frustrating experience. As more people get wireless devices, the possibility of interference increases – along with falling performance. Wirelessmon gives a comprehensive summary of all of the wireless networks in range.

Once installed on a computer with a compatible wireless card, it shows a list of the local networks, what channels they are on, at what strength and whether any security has been setup.

The signal strength information is more detailed than that provided by Windows and is useful for positioning directional aerials for the best possible speeds.

Wireless network performance can be tested with the built in benchmarks.

This demo will work for 30 days, after which a licence must be bought. The standard version costs $19 and the Pro version $49
