inSSIDer
inSSIDer is a Wi-Fi network scanner and analysis tool originally developed by MetaGeek, LLC that helps users visualize and troubleshoot their wireless networks. It scans for nearby access points, displays signal strength measurements, identifies channel congestion, and provides detailed information about wireless network performance. The app is commonly used by IT professionals, network administrators, and home users to optimize Wi-Fi performance by identifying the best channels to use and diagnosing connectivity issues. inSSIDer can help users understand how physical obstacles like walls and doors affect their wireless signals and find optimal locations for routers and devices.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThis app appears to be discontinued and unmaintained. The original developer MetaGeek no longer supports the Mac version, and Homebrew has marked it as deprecated. However, the company Oscium has taken over development of inSSIDer and offers a modern version that should work on Apple Silicon Macs. Their current version provides the same Wi-Fi scanning and analysis features as the original, with updated compatibility for modern macOS versions. You should download the current version from Oscium's official website to replace the old MetaGeek version.
