WLAN Pros Toolbox

Fixed: with the Wi-Fi radio switched off and a USB-C Ethernet adapter attached, the app named a Wi-Fi network you were not connected to and printed the Ethernet address as the Wi-Fi one. It now says plainly that you are not on Wi-Fi. The cause is that the address the app was reading is chosen by interface name, and a USB Ethernet adapter looks like an interface name Wi-Fi uses, so the wired address was read as a wireless one. The same mistake applied to USB tethering, which is far more common than a dongle, so that is fixed too. Fixed: the address shown as your own could be the wrong one. On a phone with the radio off and a cable attached, the app reported an address belonging to the carrier's translation layer rather than the address on the cable. Addresses that are never a device's real address, including the 169.254 range that means no address was issued at all, are no longer offered as yours, and a real link is now preferred over a tunnel. Fixed: Lookup (ARP/NDP) said a MAC address was not exposed on this platform when the platform had exposed several on the same screen. Those entries were hosts that did not answer, which is a useful thing to know about a network, and the app said something false about itself instead. Each entry now says which of the two it is, and where the source reports it, which interface the neighbor was seen on. A host reachable over both a cable and a radio appears once for each, which is a fact rather than a repeat. Fixed: Lookup (BGP/ASN) reported Registry and AS type as not available on this platform when the routing database had simply returned nothing for those fields. The app now names the source of the silence rather than blaming your device. The guide describes every platform the Toolbox runs on rather than two of them, and the Ping Sweep illustration no longer draws its label through its own arrow.
