Hostname resolution is only available when the LAN gateway is used as the DNS server. - Widgets are updated only at scheduled intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes), so they can show outdated info. Open the app to get info updated in real time. - Data usage widget, full featured network state widgets and lock screen widgets are available only with the Pro upgrade

Wifi-Pass consente agli utenti, che dispongono di una connessione Internet, di calcolare istantaneamente la chiave WPA di default del vostro router Alice e Fastweb. L'applicazione potrebbe non funzionare con tutti i tipi di router disponibili, soprattutto se recenti! Attenzione, l'applicazione è in grado di trovare soltanto la password originale (quella che era impostata al primo utilizzo del router), quindi se l'avete già modificata non farà niente di più che confermarvi che la vostra rete è già al sicuro! Se invece dopo aver usato l'applicazione una delle chiavi calcolate è quella corretta allora c'è il rischio che qualche malintenzionato possa trovarla nello stesso modo in cui l'avete trovavta voi! Vi consigliamo quindi prima possibile di cambiare l'SSID e la WPA del vostro router accedendo al pannello di controllo. ATTENZIONE Si ricorda che l’accesso abusivo ad un sistema informatico è un reato perseguibile a termine di legge (art. 615-ter c.p.). La violazione delle reti wi-fi è illegale. Questa applicazione ha il solo scopo di verificare la sicurezza della propria rete, per cui non ci assumiamo nessuna responsabilità circa l'uso che ne farete. L'applicazione non è nata per violare altre reti. Se la vostra pass è quella visualizzata dall'applicazione, cosa aspettate, corrette subito a cambiarla! Gli sviluppatori non si assumono alcuna responsabilità derivante dall'utilizzo improprio di quest'app! NOTA: per funzionare correttamente, il modulo necessita di una connessione internet. SIETE GENTILMENTE PREGATI DI NON LASCIARE COMMENTI NEGATIVI SOLO PERCHE' L'APPLICAZIONE NON TROVA TUTTI GLI SSID, ANCHE PERCHE' QUESTO CERTIFICA CHE LA VOSTRA RETE E' SICURA!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Network Utility at 81% against Wifi's 13%. Network Utility also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). Wifi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
