LiDAR WiFi Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
LiDAR WiFi Planner turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a complete Wi-Fi site-survey and network-diagnostics toolkit — for homeowners, installers, and IT professionals. Scan any space with built-in LiDAR to create a floor plan in seconds — no tape measure, no guesswork. Then walk the site, tap each test location, and the app measures real download speed, latency, jitter, and packet loss, interpolating them into a heat map that shows exactly where your Wi-Fi is strong, weak, or dead. Survey once; review every metric afterward. RECENT UPDATES • Aruba Mobility Controller / ArubaOS 8 (Aruba Instant MD) support — a dedicated dashboard with clients & roles, Channels & RF, AP-group hierarchy, and controller licensing; real per-client SNR now feeds the survey heat map (strictly read-only) • Now on Mac — a universal app: buy once, use across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Network Tools: multi-host Ping monitor (watch an entire subnet by CIDR), MAC/OUI vendor lookup, subnet calculator, and Bonjour/mDNS service discovery • Coverage Advisor: finds your worst dead zone and suggests where to add an AP or extender • Before/After comparison: save a baseline, move hardware, prove the improvement • Live per-client RF trend charts, app & traffic visibility, neighbor/rogue scan, channel & RF health (with a supported controller) KEY FEATURES • One-scan LiDAR floor plan — save once, measure repeatedly • Multi-point survey: download, latency, jitter, packet loss — switch metrics anytime • Automatic heat map with adjustable pass/fail thresholds • Multi-AP / mesh / extender simulation (FSPL + wall-loss model) • Multi-page A4 PDF inspection report with heat maps, data table, pass rate, and signature block • Per-floor-plan speed-test source and controller profile • iCloud settings backup & restore for multi-site work • Floor-plan export: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, SVG, DXF (CAD-ready) • Advanced: connect a supported wireless controller — Aruba Instant VC or Aruba Mobility Controller / ArubaOS 8 — for real per-client SNR (strictly read-only) USE CASES • Home Wi-Fi optimization and mesh verification • Office, retail, and clinic wireless planning • Professional installation handover with PDF reports • Network troubleshooting and performance analysis • Multi-site management IMPORTANT NOTES iOS restricts third-party access to Wi-Fi RSSI, so the standard survey uses real-world throughput — download speed, latency, jitter, packet loss — as a signal-quality proxy. Results can be affected by ISP line quality, test-server choice, local load, and device performance; treat them as planning guidance. Pairing a supported controller unlocks true per-client SNR for higher accuracy. Aruba Instant (Virtual Controller) and Aruba Mobility Controller / ArubaOS 8 are supported via their official public REST API, and every controller feature is strictly read-only. This app is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Aruba or HPE. Free to download with full features and one floor plan. Manage more floor plans via an in-app subscription. Independently built and maintained in Taiwan. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SABClient at none against LiDAR WiFi Planner's 3. LiDAR WiFi Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
