A good tool for finding available nearby wireless networks, and getting information about them, is an essential for many of our PDAs and smartphone devices. There are a couple of new ones out there just recently – PFScan and WiFi Monitor.
That’s PFScan on the left above, and WiFi Monitor on the right.
Both run on Windows Mobile, from WM2003 right up to Windows Mobile 6, and offer a decent set of features – read on for a little more detail on them ..
PFScan has features including:
List networks by SSID
Signal strength if available
Channel
Type
Security (WEP or Unsecured)
MAC address of the access point
Best signal if available
Worst signal if available
Date and time first seen
Date and time of last contact
Zoom in on signal for pinpointing (If available)
Quick display of active networks
Show or hide secure
Sound emits a sonar style ping when a new connection is made
Show or hide peers
Adjustable refresh rate
WiFi Monitor’s feature list includes:
Detailed network info: SSID, signal strength, channel, type and security
Ability to filter displayed networks (hide secure networks and peers)
Sound alerts, when a new network is found
Updates are completely free, for lifetime, for this software.
WiFi Monitor goes for $4.99 and is available HERE for trial or purchase.
PFScan is currently $7.95 at the JAMM Store (until end of August), where you can grab a trial or buy it.
