WiFi inSSIDer

WiFi inSSIDer Home

 

The WiFi InSSider supports only the 2.4 GHz frequency band or 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands depending on the V150 product model (refer to product specifications for details). The home screen has tabs to display test results for both frequency bands and also for graphical presentation of results for both.

  1. Tap the Scan button on the right side of the screen. After the scan is completed, the unit displays the list of access points (AP) detected in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

  2. The following information is displayed for each AP:

    • SSID name of the AP
    • BSSID (MAC address) of the AP
    • 802.11 protocol version supported by the AP
    • Max data rate supported by the AP
    • AP's radio channel number
    • Lock symbol indicates if security is set on the AP (WEP, WPA, or WPA2).
      When the AP is unsecured, no lock symbol is displayed
    • Signal strength of the AP

    Access Points in the 5.0 GHZ spectrum can only be displayed if the VeEX USB Wifi adapter supports 802.11a/n or 802.11 a/n/ac. Refer to the USB Wifi adapter specifications.

  3. Use the 2.4GHz GraphCH and 5.0GraphCH tabs to view the number of Access Points detected for each channel in the 2.4GHz and 5GH bands and the strength of the strongest AP's signal for each channel.

    • AP's radio Channel number
    • Signal strength (dBm)
    • Number of co-channel: Number of APs using the same radio channel
    • Number of Overlapping APs: Number of APs using channels whose frequency band overlaps with the AP
