NetSpot is a professional multiplatform app for Wi-Fi network planning, wireless site surveys, Wi-Fi analysis, and troubleshooting. Best in its class for over 10 years. No need to be a network expert to improve your home or office Wi-Fi today! All you need is your MacBook running macOS 10.12+ or any laptop with Windows 7/8/10/11 on board and NetSpot which works over any 802.11 network.

When working on a Wi-Fi network that will provide an optimal coverage, you'll need a solid research and understanding the radio frequency behavior at the spot. The effective way to obtain this information is a wireless site survey. It will reveal areas of channel interference and dead zones, and will help you tremendously to build a solid network.

The main goal of a WIFI site survey is determining the feasibility of implementing a wireless network in a specific area and finding the best spots for access points and other equipment like cables and antennas. With the help of site survey you will know what type of equipment to get and where to install it.

Wireless Site survey is also an important part of wifi security analysis. NetSpot is a perfect helper for network security specialists in locating and eliminating rogue access points, detecting unauthorized workstations, avoiding cross-channel interference and getting rid of false-positive intrusion alerts. With NetSpot one can also check the security settings (Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal/Enterprise), non-broadcasting SSIDs and WiFi signal strength. With all this work done well the wireless signal is less likely to spill outside, where a war driver can get their hands on it.

With its advanced collection and visualization of data NetSpot provides its users with a comprehensive and complete WiFi site survey solution.

Discover Mode

NetSpot collects every detail about surrounding Wi-Fi networks and presents wireless data as an interactive table. It lets you troubleshoot and improve your network's coverage, capacity, performance, APs configurations, signal level, interference, noise, etc.

Wi-Fi Surveys

With NetSpot, the in-depth network analysis is a breeze, thanks to its interactive color-coded heatmaps. Outline your real-life Wi-Fi data on a map quickly and easily. Flexible professional reports included.

Visualizations

NetSpot offers more than 15 heatmap visualizations that help troubleshoot and manage any Wi-Fi setup. By helping analyze every access point, NetSpot can scale up from useful-to-everyone to incredibly detailed for the true wireless networking mavens.
