Find WiFi networks around you, check network and router security, and keep your own passwords in one place — no ads, no account required. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the Nearby tab to see the WiFi networks iOS has detected around you. 2. Tap a network. If it matches a known router family, iWepPRO shows the manufacturer's key-generation method. 3. Enter the network name (and MAC address when needed) to calculate the default key. 4. Save the result to My Networks, or connect directly from the app. NEARBY WIFI SCANNER See the networks around you as iOS discovers them, with signal strength and security type. Tap any result to inspect it or jump straight into the key calculator. ROUTER KEY CALCULATOR Support for 65 router families (SpeedTouch, Thomson, Orange, Bbox, Belkin, D-Link, ZTE and many more), using the manufacturer's own default-key algorithm — the same engine iWepPRO has shipped for over a decade. Six additional generators (digit, phrase and converter modes) cover routers that don't follow a fixed family pattern. WIFI MAP A map of WodSpots (free hotspots shared by the community) and airport/lounge WiFi information, plus free regional offline databases you can download so the map works without a connection. The free plan shows WodSpots and offline points within 50 km of you; Pro removes that limit worldwide. Airport data is never limited. SPEED TEST Measure download, upload and ping in seconds and keep a history of every test, with Siri Shortcuts support ("Run a speed test with iWepPRO"). DISCOVER DEVICES Scan your local network to see which devices are connected to it. FREE PUBLIC VPN SERVERS Connect through a free public VPN server (VPN Gate, University of Tsukuba) using iOS's built-in personal VPN. These are shared, third-party community servers — convenient for a quick, free connection, but not a private or audited VPN service. Use your own judgement for sensitive traffic. QR SCANNER Scan a WiFi QR code to join a network instantly, or generate one to share your own network. PRIVACY iWepPRO has no account system and no backend. The nearby-WiFi scan (NEHotspotHelper) and your saved networks are read and stored on your device. Location is only used to center the map and to measure the free-plan radius; it is never sent anywhere. REQUIREMENTS - iOS 26 or later, iPhone and iPad. - The nearby WiFi scan and local-network device discovery need a real device — they are not available in the iOS Simulator. IWEPPRO PRO (optional, auto-renewing subscription) - Worldwide map: WodSpots and offline-database networks beyond 50 km - Unlimited speed-test history - Unlimited favorites and saved networks - Early access to new Pro features - Supports ongoing development Plans: $9.99/year or $3.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Terms of Use: https://iwazowski.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://iwazowski.com/privacy/
