![]() ![]() It can also test Wi-Fi signal strength, letting you know where you need to position yourself for ideal connectivity. It offers a bevy of tools outside of simple speed tests, such as being able to measure the ping response time for PlayStation Network, Steam, YouTube, TikTok and social-media networks. SpeedTest Master (opens in new tab) is a powerful speed test app for both iOS (opens in new tab) and Android (opens in new tab). Note: Some features noted in this blog post are only available in the Android app, as iOS restricts access to some Wi-Fi related functions.(Image credit: SpeedTest Master) 2. We can’t wait to hear how WiFiman helps you! Once you get a chance to try it out, please feel free to share your experience by writing a review on the app. Connect your device to Wi-Fi, open the app, and begin learning about your network. No configuration or registration is necessary. To find out what WiFiman can do for your wireless network, install the app on your Android or iOS device. If you find that other APs are overlapping on the same channels or are adjacent to other APs on 5GHz, consider decreasing channel width and/or adjusting channel assignments to minimize this. You can use the WiFiman channel graphs to see how congested the wireless spectrum is at each AP location and show you which channels to switch to. WiFiman provides a channel graph that is updated in real time and displays all nearby wireless signals detected by your phone, including each distinct AP within the wireless networks. Assigning APs to the most ideal channel based on their location will improve performance and stability. Use Channel Graphs to Build a Better Wi-Fi Channel PlanĪnother common cause of Wi-Fi performance pains is excessive wireless interference, which can originate from an outside source and/or from other APs on your network. Similarly, if your client devices hold on to APs too long or struggle to roam to the appropriate AP, you may need to adjust radio transmit power or add minimum RSSI restrictions to the AP configuration. Gaps in coverage may indicate a need to tweak AP placement, increase transmit power, or add additional APs to your deployment. Use this tool to identify gaps in wireless coverage or a need to optimize your Wi-Fi to facilitate better roaming. ![]() The app tracks signal strength and maximum data rates, and it shows you when your client device roams from one Access point (AP) to another. Using the Wi-Fi Link Analyzer, you can see how connection quality varies as you move throughout your physical location. When there are issues with poor connection stability on a wireless network, the most common culprit is coverage. I will share some examples to show how WiFiman helps me manage my networks: Use Wi-Fi Link Analyzer to Evaluate Wireless Coverage I downloaded the app myself and used it to analyze my office network. WiFiman’s suite of tools offers a wide range of potential uses. These features can help anyone who manages a wireless network-whether it be at home or in the office, to get the data they need to optimize their network and resolve performance issues. That’s why this app comes free of charge or ads, and isn’t restricted to use with Ubiquiti products. We remain committed to making high-performance Wi-Fi accessible to everyone. Tests your internet connection to measure download and upload speeds to the closest server.Īllows you to plot and view signal strength on a device over time, as you move through your deployment. Scans the network to provide detailed information on locally connected devices. Shows channels on 2.4GHz and 5GHz and how they are being utilized by nearby wireless networks. Generates a list of nearby SSIDs with detailed signal information. WiFiman offers the following features, and more: Network List ![]() We recently released WiFiman: a mobile app that provides a suite of tools to monitor, analyze, and improve Wi-Fi performance. ![]()
