WiFi Prober is a network diagnostic utility for engineers and IT professionals performing Wi-Fi surveys on iPhone. WI-FI SURVEYS - View RSSI, noise, Rx/Tx Data Rate and connection details supplied by the companion Apple Shortcut. - Follow BSSID roaming events and channel changes. - View estimated channel width and MCS, with the assumptions available in the app. - Arrange dashboard blocks in Settings and keep your preferred order. - Save long surveys and export the current or a previous survey as CSV. NETWORK TOOLS - Measure TCP connection time to your Wi-Fi gateway and external hosts, with IPv4/IPv6 support and custom targets. - Check DNS resolution time. - Run the embedded Yandex Internetometer speed test in a temporary web session with known advertising and analytics requests blocked. - Identify equipment vendors using an offline OUI database. AR SIGNAL HUD Overlay available signal measurements and equipment information on the camera view. Record and preview video during a site survey. SETUP AND COLLECTION Wi-Fi signal measurements require the WiFi Monitor Agent 2 companion Shortcut. Install and verify it in Settings → Wi-Fi Shortcut. Network Tools are available without installing the Shortcut. Collection runs while WiFi Prober is active. Leaving, locking or closing the app stops collection; press Start to begin again. A fresh launch or a return after two hours away clears old dashboard readings, while saved surveys remain available for export. No WiFi Prober account is required.

WiFizer is your complete Wi-Fi and network toolbox: see your real connection quality, map your coverage room by room, discover every device around you, and diagnose problems with pro-grade tools — no account, no ads, no tracking. SEE YOUR SIGNAL — FOR REAL • Live quality ring driven by real measurements: latency, jitter and packet loss, with a rolling 60-second chart. • Go Live for true Wi-Fi numbers — RSSI in dBm, channel, band, link rates — using an Apple-Shortcuts companion built on Apple's own actions. • Mesh-friendly: see every access point you roam between, name your nodes, and track the best signal each one ever gave you. • On cellular too: no Wi-Fi? WiFizer shows your live connection quality, network type (5G/LTE) and provider. WI-FI HEATMAP • Walk your home and watch a live coverage map paint itself onto the floor through your camera. • On LiDAR iPhones, scan the room and see your signal on a real 2D floor plan and a rotatable 3D model. PERSONAL HOTSPOT INSIGHTS • Hosting? See every connected device — name, IP, live latency on an animated meter, updating as devices join and leave. • On someone's hotspot? See the provider and your latency to the host and to the internet, so you know which hop is slow. KNOW YOUR NETWORK • Device scanner: find everything on your network, with names, vendors and a detail page per device — live ping, advertised services, port check. • Bonjour browser: what every device announces — AirPlay, Chromecast, printers, shares, smart-home gear. • Bluetooth scanner with distance estimates. • A private, Face ID-protected vault for your Wi-Fi passwords, with QR sharing. SPEED TEST • Multi-stream download and upload with live gauges — no extra server needed. • Full history with charts, CSV export, and an optional daily background health check that warns you when your connection degrades. A REAL TOOLKIT Ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, port scan, subnet tools — plus an OSINT set: WHOIS/RDAP, DNS records, email security grades (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), TLS certificate inspector, HTTP security headers, IP geolocation, subdomain finder and more. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch app: live signal strength and latency while you walk. • Home and Lock Screen widgets: your network, provider, public IP and last speed test at a glance. FOUR LOOKS Choose your vibe: Soft, Mono, Glass or full-on Terminal. HONEST BY DESIGN iOS keeps some Wi-Fi details private, and unlike some apps, WiFizer never invents numbers to fill the gap. When something can't be measured, we tell you why — and give you the closest real measurement instead. FREE + PRO Almost everything in WiFizer is free. The live signal tools (Go Live, Heatmap, Watch view) are part of WiFizer Pro — one single purchase, yours forever, with a full 14-day free trial. No subscriptions, ever. PRIVACY No account. No ads.
