WiFi Explorer Pi is a Wi-Fi scanner and analyzer designed to help WLAN and IT professionals design, validate, and troubleshoot wireless networks using external sensors. It connects securely to supported mobile sensors—including WLAN Pi Go, Hamina Clip, and Oscium Nomad—as well as other WLAN Pi devices, remote sensors, and compatible custom sensors. It delivers real-time scan results with detailed information about every network it detects. You can tag scans with a location, share them through AirDrop or other apps, and save them for later analysis. Saved scans can be opened in tools like WiFi Explorer Pro 3 or Wireshark for deeper inspection. The app also provides a spectrum view that shows how channels are being used across the band, helping you quickly spot congestion and interference. Filtering includes basic and advanced options. You can filter by band, SSID, BSSID, channel, channel width, security type, Wi-Fi generation, and more. For networks that advertise it, you can also filter by channel utilization and the number of associated stations, making it easier to focus on the networks that matter most.
