What is InSSIDer? How to use InSSIDer 4

When Wi-Fi networks are found, InSSIDer will show you the router's MAC address, router manufacturing name (if any), installation service identifier (SSID) or network public name, as required. Privacy is in use, speed of the network and more. In addition, it displays the network's current signal strength, as well as its signal strength over time.

How to troubleshoot wireless networking with InSSIDer ? If you find that your Wi-Fi network uses the same channel as nearby networks that have stronger signals then you will know that you should change the channel and frequency of the router to avoid conflicts and ensure ensure connection speed is always at the highest level. Most routers have setup options that allow you to do this.

You can also use the InSSIDer software to detect "dead zones," where the Wi-Fi signal is weakest or even unavailable by hugging your laptop while walking around your home or office.
