WLAN Pros Toolbox vs LanSplit

WLAN Pros Toolbox is a free field companion for Wi-Fi and network professionals. No account. No ads. No tracking. Built by Wireless LAN Professionals. If you design, install, or troubleshoot Wi-Fi and networks for a living, this is the calculator and reference set you carry in your pocket, plus the live diagnostics you reach for on site. More than 120 tools, organized so you find the one you need fast. The reference tables and calculators work offline once the app is installed. The active diagnostics need a network connection to do their job. The app shows the tools each platform supports, and on iPhone and iPad some live Wi-Fi details use a companion Apple Shortcut you install once. CALCULATORS RF and signal math without the spreadsheet: - dBm / Watt converter - Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) - EIRP, Fresnel zone, link budget, fade margin - Cable loss, noise floor, RF attenuation by material - Antenna downtilt and downtilt coverage - ITU rain fade, earth curvature - GPS: lat/long conversion, distance and bearing, midpoint, final point - Wavelength, metric conversion, hex / ASCII / binary - PoE budget, throughput by MCS, capacity planning, point-to-point link check LIVE DIAGNOSTICS The active tools for the field: - Interface information: local IPs, gateway, DNS, link details - Ping (ICMP and TCP), ping sweep, traceroute - DNS lookup over DNS-over-HTTPS (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, CAA, SPF) - WHOIS, BGP / ASN lookup, IP geolocation - Port scan, SSL/TLS certificate inspection, HTTP header inspection - Network discovery, ARP/NDP neighbor lookup, MAC vendor OUI lookup - Wake-on-LAN, packet sender - Network quality: latency, jitter, loss, throughput, and reachability checks - Wi-Fi information: live link details for the connected network CHECK MY CONNECTION A plain-language helper that answers one question for anyone, not just pros: is it your Wi-Fi or your internet? Start here when someone hands you a slow connection and wants an answer. QUICK REFERENCE The tables you keep looking up: - 802.11 standards, MCS index, Wi-Fi channels, channel bonding map - Signal thresholds, roaming parameters, AP placement guidance - WPA security matrix, 802.11 reason codes, frame exchange - PoE class and wattage, well-known ports - Cabling: Ethernet pinout, Ethernet cable, coax, fiber, RF connectors - dB reference, spectrum allocations, OSI model, Wi-Fi glossary REFERENCE AND LAB HOW-TOS - Network CLI commands (Windows and macOS/Linux) - Linux and WLAN commands, monitor mode - Wireshark 802.11 display and capture filters (reference cheat sheets, not a packet capture) - Educational resources from independent Wi-Fi authors - Field checklists for AP install and client testing Free for the community.

Ever connected to your digital mixer's Wi-Fi and lost internet, because your device insists on sending traffic out through a Wi-Fi network that has none? LanSplit fixes this with a single switch: - Traffic to the Wi-Fi LAN (mixer, stage box, audio gear) → stays on Wi-Fi - All internet (LINE, YouTube, streaming, video calls) → goes out via mobile data - No SIM or mobile data off → internet falls back to Wi-Fi automatically Both paths work at the same time. No switching networks, no manual IP setup, no jailbreak. LanSplit Link — share internet with a tablet that has no SIM Install LanSplit on both devices. The phone with a SIM taps "Share" and gets a QR plus a short 8-character code. The tablet taps "Link" and scans the QR — or just types the code, and the app finds the sharing phone on the network automatically. The tablet instantly gets the phone's mobile internet over the same mixer Wi-Fi, while still controlling the console. The pairing code stays the same, so you pair once. A clear status line tells you when internet is actually working. Who it's for - Sound engineers controlling digital mixing consoles from iPhone/iPad - Event crews who must join equipment Wi-Fi while staying online - Anyone who needs to connect to a Wi-Fi network without internet, but stay online via SIM How it works LanSplit creates a local split tunnel inside your device and picks the route for each connection itself — so it behaves identically on every device, regardless of the system's network preferences. Privacy - No external server — your traffic never passes through anyone's machine but the normal destination - Nothing collected, logged, or shared - No ads, no analytics, no account required Note: LanSplit is not a VPN service for changing your IP, hiding your identity, or accessing geo-restricted content. It is a device-local network routing tool. Internet sharing (LanSplit Link) works only between devices running the app on the same Wi-Fi network, paired with a local code — it is not a public hotspot.
