inSSIDer — Defeat Slow WiFi
Most of us have a love-hate relationship with our WiFi network. It is awesome when it works... and frustrating when it doesn't. inSSIDer helps to remove that frustration by showing you exactly how your network is configured, how neighboring WiFI networks are impacting yours, and gives suggestions for fast, secure WiFi.
See your WiFi environment
Since 2007 inSSIDer has been the leading tool for visualizing WiFi. With inSSIDer you will instantly understand how your WiFi network and the neighboring WiFi networks are interacting. inSSIDer shows you the essential details about your WiFi access points including channel, channel width, signal strength, WiFi generation, maximum data rate, and security. It also shows you how the neighboring WiFi networks are impacting your WiFi.


Analyze your Wifi environment
inSSIDer analyzes the configuration of your WiFi including channel settings, security, signal strength, and the impact of neighboring WiFi networks. Then in plain English inSSIDer shows you what's working great, what could be improved for faster WiFi, and what definitely needs fixed ASAP.
Improve your Wi-Fi security and speed
After seeing your WiFi and having inSSIDer analyze your WiFi, you are ready to make changes to improve your WiFi. The combination of inSSIDer and our library of free WiFi guides and videos are the tools you need to defeat slow WiFi forever!

A deeper look at inSSIDer
Quickly find access point details
The capabilities and configuration of your access points have a huge impact on whether your WiFi is sloooow or fast. But this information is typically hidden for mesh systems or buried in a dozen configuration screens for standard WiFi access points. With inSSIDer all of the important access point configuration details are shown in a single, easy-to-read list.


Discover which channels are busiest
Selecting a quiet channel for your WiFi network will improve your WiFi speed, and a channel with only a single WiFi network can be much busier than a channel with multiple WiFi networks. The Channels Table in inSSIDer shows you how busy each channel is, making it easy to find a channel that is relatively quiet compared to other channels.
See devices on your local network
inSSIDer not only shows your information about your WiFi access points, it also scans your Local Area Network (LAN) to determine what devices are on your network. For some devices inSSIDer can even show you what type of device it is and automatically find the device name.


Power up inSSIDer with MetaGeek Plus
See WiFi device details
inSSIDer with MetaGeek Plus combines Local Area Network scanning with full packet capture to build a complete picture of each client on your WiFi network, including connected data rate and retry rate, which are strong indicators of the quality of the client connection.


Quickly locate any WiFi device
inSSIDer with MetaGeek Plus also charts client airtime utilization, retry rate, and signal strength so you can monitor the connection quality over time or quickly locate the client based on signal strength. The Frame Table summarizes all WiFi packets sent and received by each client.
Open and save packet capture files
The MetaGeek Plus Pro subscription also adds the ability to open and save packet capture files (.pcap), turning inSSIDer into a powerful tool for WiFi packet analysis. inSSIDer is also a great tool for creating packet capture files to analyze in Eye P.A.

When “turn it off and turn it on again” won’t cut it
Sure, sometimes your router needs a reset. But power cycling and praying to the mysterious WiFi gods can’t be the only tool in your arsenal when you’re trying to use your home network to work, study, or teach online classes - sometimes all at the same time.
You can call your internet service provider for help, but how long do you want to stay on hold? And how likely is it that they’ll give you the same response of “our service isn’t down, it must be your WiFi”?
