HOME WI-FI MESH NETWORK ANALYZER
Your rooms. Your router. Your mesh.
Focus on the equipment you choose. Follow your main router, mesh nodes, and access points while you compare coverage around the house. Use the readings to decide where a different placement might help.
Walk and compare
Carry your Windows laptop or tablet to the places you use Wi-Fi. Watch signal strength, signal quality, and the available bands.
Make an informed move
Compare the current reading with the session average and range. Move equipment if needed, restart your baseline, and check again.
The in-app introduction explains which equipment to select before you begin.
Check the router and mesh devices you want to monitor. Edit their names, rescan nearby Wi-Fi, or change the selection before choosing OK – Monitor.
Compare current, average, minimum, and maximum signal for your selected devices. Review channel, frequency, signal quality, last-seen time, and the strongest selected signal on each available band.
- Signal strength, in dBm
- A number closer to zero is stronger. For example, −50 dBm is stronger than −70 dBm.
- Available Wi-Fi bands
- Compare 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz when your Wi-Fi adapter, driver, Windows, and nearby equipment report them.
- A fresh comparison
- Use Change Selection or Restart Session to choose different equipment or begin a new baseline.
Moving between mesh nodes?
If your computer connects to a different access point, changes Wi-Fi networks, or disconnects, the monitoring session stops. Restart the session to continue from that connection. The analyzer measures signal; it does not automatically change your router settings.
LIVE WI-FI RANGE FINDER
See more than a row of signal bars.
The main yellow dashboard keeps nearby Wi-Fi networks in view. Compare names, bands, channels, and signal ratings as you move, then open the rest of your toolkit from the same screen.
The live table shows nearby access points with signal strength in dBm, signal quality, an easy-to-read rating, and the radio identifiers and device groups reported by Windows. Pause the readings when you want a closer look. The screen’s buttons open Internet Health, Bandwidth, Mesh, Ports, LAN, and Network / Internet Tools.
Range Finder measures signal strength, not distance in feet or meters. An enabled compatible Wi-Fi adapter is required; Ethernet alone cannot scan nearby Wi-Fi.INTERNET HEALTH + LIVE BANDWIDTH
Understand the connection behind the signal.
A strong Wi-Fi signal is one part of the experience. Check responsiveness and download performance, or keep an eye on how much data your selected adapter is moving right now. Both work with Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
See your router response, Internet response, DNS health, packet size, connection interruptions, and latest and average download results in one detailed view. A regional table compares connection response across up to ten worldwide regions.
Latency is the wait for a response. Jitter is how much that wait varies. Packet loss means some test requests did not return. The session summary tracks response-time and jitter statistics, outages, and spikes so you can see whether problems repeat. Connection details include your provider, public address, and approximate IP location. Pause stops monitoring and transfers; Resume or Restart begins a new session.
The compact, always-on-top monitor shows current download and upload rates, peak rates, transferred totals, and elapsed session time. Use Reset Totals when you want a fresh starting point.
This reads traffic on one selected physical adapter, including Internet and local-network traffic. It does not run a speed test or show usage by individual application.Download benchmarks use Internet data.
Each test downloads about 100 MiB. Four initial tests use about 400 MiB in total, followed by tests no more often than every two hours. Restarting the session begins a new initial series. Keep this in mind on a metered connection. The benchmark tests downloads; upload activity is shown separately in Live Bandwidth Monitor.
LOCAL NETWORK + PORT VISIBILITY
Know what is visible. Understand what is listening.
Explore your home or business LAN from the active connection, then look more closely at the programs and services listening on this computer. These tools work over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Review detected local IP addresses, available device names, hardware addresses, response times, and first- and last-seen times. The displayed scan scope tells you which private IPv4 network is being monitored.
Online means a device answered a ping. LAN Seen means it was observed through local neighbor information. Sleeping, isolated, or filtered devices may not appear; this is not an exhaustive inventory of every subnet or VLAN.
See TCP listeners and UDP endpoints, the programs and services behind them, and the addresses they use. Switch between all TCP listeners, publicly reachable IPv4 results, and the local UDP list. Use Run Report to refresh.
External checks test public IPv4 TCP ports only. A responding public port may lead to your router or another device; it does not prove that this PC is reachable. UDP and public IPv6 are not externally tested.NINE NETWORK / INTERNET TOOLS
The right check, one click away.
Look up an address, follow a route, inspect adapter settings, or check a wireless connection from one menu. You do not need to open a separate command prompt. Select a tool below to see its explanation and actual screen.
Choose from DNS Lookup, DNS Propagation, Ping, Traceroute, IP Config, NS Lookup, Netstat, Quick Wi-Fi Network Check, and Reset Remote Desktop History. Individual tools provide their own action, cancel, and return controls.
DNS LookupFind the address and records behind a website.
Enter a domain, host name, or IP address and choose the record type. Read the returned name, record type, cache lifetime (TTL), and data. Choose A or AAAA for addresses, MX for mail, or another supported record type; PTR looks up a name from an IP address.
Check DNS PropagationCompare a domain’s DNS answers around the world.
Check public IPv4 address records from up to 30 worldwide locations through Globalping. Review each location, provider, answer, and status after a DNS change. This is a sample of available locations, not proof every DNS cache is updated. Submitted names and measurement results are public.
PingSee whether a destination replies—and how quickly.
Enter a host name or IP address to send four test requests. Review the replies, response times, and packet-loss summary. A destination may block ping, so a missing reply alone does not prove that the Internet connection is down.
TracerouteFollow the responding steps along a network route.
Enter a destination to view up to 30 network hops, with addresses, available host names, and three response-time measurements per hop. Some routers do not answer these requests; a timed-out hop does not necessarily mean a broken route.
IP ConfigFind this computer’s network settings.
Review a read-only snapshot of your adapters, IP addresses, default gateways, and DNS settings. Refresh to read the latest configuration. This tool displays the Windows information without changing your network settings.
NS LookupRead the original reply from your DNS server.
Query a domain, host name, or IP address through the computer’s configured DNS server and inspect the original Windows response. Use this when you want to see the resolver’s answer in its familiar command-output format.
NetstatInspect connections and the programs behind them.
View a current snapshot of network connections, listening ports, connection states, and process IDs. Refresh when you need updated information. A local listening entry does not by itself show that a port is reachable from the Internet.
Quick Wi-Fi Network CheckTake a quick look at your wireless interface.
Review the wireless adapters and current connection details reported by Windows, including connection state, network name, radio, channel, signal, and link rates when available. This is a connection snapshot; use Range Finder for nearby networks and Mesh Analyzer for your selected equipment.
Reset Remote Desktop HistoryClear remembered Remote Desktop connection addresses when you choose.
Close Remote Desktop, then confirm the cleanup. This removes the current user’s recent connection addresses, Remote Desktop taskbar connection list—including pinned connections—and saved address fields in the default connection file. Saved credentials, passwords, and other connection settings are preserved. This is an optional cleanup action, not a complete deletion of Windows activity logs.
Actual Wi-Fi Commander screens are shown throughout this page. Example readings reflect the network and hardware used for the screenshots; your results will vary. Select any screenshot to open it at full size.
