WiFi Explorer

Analyze wireless networks using Mac's Wi-Fi adapter.

WiFi Explorer launched on April 16, 2018 with 7 votes, #1,113 of 2,753 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

What it does

WiFi Explorer gathers configuration and capability information about all the networks it discovers and presents it on an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface. Information includes network name (SSID), BSSID, vendor, country code, channel, band, security configuration, supported data rates, number of streams, and much more.

In some cases, after an update, macOS Big Sur or Monterey fails to give WiFi Explorer the necessary permissions for scanning. When this problem occurs, WiFi Explorer shows no scan results even though networks are in range. To resolve this issue, make sure WiFi Explorer has access to Location Services. Then, restart your computer.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
