Wifi Helper helps you make better home Wi-Fi decisions from your iPhone without pretending that iOS can perform a desktop-style wireless scan. FREE QUICK CHECK • Run three small HTTPS response-time probes at the spot you are testing • Review responsiveness, variation, reliability, and the network path reported by iOS • Save recent checks locally so you can compare real places in your home • Use every Quick Check without an account or usage limit PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE One optional non-consumable purchase unlocks every premium tool. There is no subscription. • Placement Survey: compare the wall outlets and rooms you actually test before choosing an extender location • Before & After: verify whether an installation improved the same named spot • Channel Advisor: import a compatible Wi-Fi scan CSV and estimate crowding across the standard 2.4 GHz choices • Extender Setup: follow vendor-neutral WPS, manufacturer-app, or browser setup guidance and verify the result HONEST IPHONE LIMITS Apple does not provide third-party iPhone apps with a general-purpose API to enumerate every nearby Wi-Fi network, channel, or source of radio interference. Wifi Helper therefore does not claim to scan surrounding networks directly. Quick Check is an end-to-end connection comparison, not a direct RF signal meter, guaranteed Internet speed test, or diagnosis of your provider. Results can also reflect the router, ISP, network load, test endpoint, and temporary conditions. Channel Advisor works only with a compatible file that you choose to import. Its guidance cannot account for channel width, utilization, noise, hidden networks, or non-Wi-Fi interference. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Survey results and imported scan content are processed on the iPhone. Wifi Helper has no account, advertising SDK, or cross-app tracking. The small probe service receives the public IP address and standard HTTPS request metadata that any Internet service receives; operational and security handling is described in the Privacy Policy. Wifi Helper is an independent utility and is not affiliated with Apple, TP-Link, or another router manufacturer.
