NetAdmin is a complete network administration toolkit for your local network. Scan a subnet, see every device that answers, and drill into each host: reachability, round-trip time, open ports, hostname, MAC and vendor. Everything runs on-device — no accounts, nothing to sign up for. DISCOVER YOUR NETWORK • Fast subnet ping sweep with a live reachable/latency readout • Per-host detail: hostname, MAC address, OUI vendor and country, open ports, IPv6 addresses • Device Identity: on-device brand/model/OS fingerprinting from UPnP/mDNS/hostname/OUI signals • Bonjour / mDNS service discovery across ~40 service types (AirPlay, HomeKit, printers, file sharing, and more) • Bluetooth LE device inventory • Automatic device-type classification and icons • Rename any host, and add notes and tags that survive re-scans • Custom scan port list, and CSV export of hosts, Bonjour and Bluetooth results MONITOR IN REAL TIME • Live ping-reply latency and packet-loss graphs, per host • RTT min / avg / max / current / jitter and loss statistics • Optional automatic re-scan on a schedule you choose • New-device alerts: get notified when a never-before-seen device joins • Scan Diff: compare two scans to see which devices were added, removed, or changed • Digital Presence: person-to-device profiles, who's-home status, and a network event timeline • SNMP Walk over v1, v2c and v3 (USM authentication + privacy, SHA/AES) • Module-grouped MIB tree browser with filter and search • Import your own private MIB files • Live monitoring: pick numeric OIDs (counters, gauges, timeticks) and graph them over time • Save walks and export results as TXT or CSV • Pull the ARP table to auto-fill host MAC addresses TOOLS HUB • Subnet Calculator — netmask, wildcard, network, broadcast and usable host range from any CIDR • DNS Lookup — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, PTR, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA, SSHFP records and a DNSSEC indicator • DNS Benchmark — ranks public DNS resolvers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard) by response time • DHCP Discovery — best-effort enumeration of DHCP servers on your LAN • Port Checker — test whether a TCP port is open and read its service banner • HTTP / TLS Inspector — response headers plus certificate common name, issuer, validity and SANs • Speed Test — 10-second parallel measurement per direction with loaded latency (bufferbloat), an animated gauge, selectable servers (Cloudflare or public LibreSpeed), history and a trend chart • Security Audit — on-device network security score (A–F) from risky open LAN ports and a router UPnP/IGD exposure audit • Port Forwards — view, add and remove your router's UPnP port forwards, all on-device • Wake-on-LAN — save named groups of devices and wake them together • Topology Map — a visual map of the devices around your gateway • Wi-Fi Scanner (Mac) — nearby access points via CoreWLAN: SSID, signal, channel, band and security MORE NETWORK TOOLS • Traceroute with per-hop geolocation, on-demand WHOIS, and a full-screen map on iPhone • Ping Test to any host or domain with latency and loss graphs • Network topology and interface details, public IP, Wi-Fi information MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES • Universal three-column layout that adapts from iPhone to iPad to Mac • Save multiple networks and review them offline • iCloud sync keeps your saved SNMP servers and bookmarks in step across your devices • Privacy option to mask the device-specific half of MAC addresses PRIVACY NetAdmin works entirely on your device and over your local network — no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Location is used only to read the current Wi-Fi name (to label saved networks) and, on Mac, to list nearby access points in the Wi-Fi Scanner; Bluetooth and Local Network access are used only to discover the devices you scan.

Discover and explore your local network. Search for DLNA compatible devices like media servers, TVs, wireless speakers, printers, security cameras, home sensors, lights, HVAC thermostats, LAN/WAN network devices and so on... DLNA Browser is a very powerful tool for discover the available DLNA (UPnP) capable devices on your home or office local network. ABOUT DLNA Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a nonprofit collaborative standards organization established by Sony and Intel in June 2003, that is responsible for defining interoperability guidelines to enable sharing of digital media between multimedia devices. DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the type of device that DLNA supports ("server", "renderer", "controller") and the mechanisms for accessing media over a network. Typical DLNA (UPnP) devices: • Media servers (PS3, Xbox, Plex, Serviio, Twonky, Mediatomb, WMC, stc.) • Media renderers: TV, display, wireless speaker. • Network device: LAN/WAN router, Wi-Fi access point. • Home automation elements: solar protection blind, light, HVAC thermostat, home sensors. • Printer, scanner, feeder. • Remote access client, server, agent. • Telephony client, server. • BMLinks device (Japanese office devices: printer, scanner). • Personal message receiver. • Media Center. • Quality of Service (QoS) device. SERVICE BROWSING • Search for available and currently running DLNA (UPnP) root and embedded devices and services. • Analyze and describe device name, manufacturer, model, type, version, serial number, UPC code, etc. • Determine operating system/version and UPnP server product and version. • Show DLNA host IP address, port number, UPnP version, local name, domain name, MAC address (with vendor information), PING capability. INTERNET INFO • Show default gateways, IP addresses, networks. • Show DNS servers, search domain names, local MAC addresses, host name resolve. • Depth external address analysis: ISP name, autonomous system name, whois, ping, regional internet registry info. • Full offline MAC vendor database. REACH UI FEATURES • Info menu with feedback and privacy settings • Use the camera icon (upper-right corner) to create and print/send/share a screenshot from the entire page. • Pull down with your finger to refresh the information. • Long press on a cell to copy/print/send/open as/share the cell value. • Shake your device to refresh the information.
