WirelessMon
-
Version
2.0
WirelessMon 2.0 enables a person to detect and monitor
Access Points (AP) on any wireless (WiFi) networks
within range. The program provides substantial
information regarding each SSID it locates including
whether the AP is secure (or not) and its availability
for use.
A live 'channel usage' chart provides information on
the level of traffic for each available channel. This
information will assist network managers by indicating
channels that could be used to reduce interference and
improve throughput.
Users of the Professional Edition will have the
additional bonus of being able to generate 'coverage
maps' based upon the signal strength of all detected
APs. To use this function, users need to import a map
created by an another application (e.g. scanning).
Once the map is loaded, users can either plot points
manually on the map, or use a Global Positioning
System (GPS) device. If done manually, the user
selects a point on the map and the program
automatically stores information on every AP it can
detect there. GPS users need to establish two
reference points, then they can leave it to the
program to detect their location on the map and store
the AP information for each point.
Network managers, laptop users and wardrivers will all
find WirelessMon 2.0 to be the perfect tool for their
wireless network requirements.
