Running WirelessMon Pro v2.1
To run WirelessMon Pro v2.1, you need to have a wireless adapter installed on your PC that supports monitor mode. Monitor mode allows the adapter to capture all the wireless traffic in the air, regardless of the network it belongs to. This is useful for scanning and analyzing WiFi networks in your vicinity. You can check if your adapter supports monitor mode by going to the Options menu and selecting Network Card Settings. If your adapter is listed under Monitor Mode Adapters, then you can use it with WirelessMon Pro v2.1.
Once you have selected your adapter, you can start monitoring your WiFi network by clicking on the Start button on the toolbar. You will see a summary of your network information on the main window, such as your SSID, channel, security settings, data rates, MAC address, signal strength, and more. You can also view a list of all the access points detected by your adapter on the Access Points tab. You can sort the list by various criteria, such as signal strength, channel, SSID, security type, etc. You can also double-click on any access point to view more details about it.
Using WirelessMon Pro v2.1 Features
WirelessMon Pro v2.1 offers many features that can help you monitor and improve your WiFi network performance. Here are some of them:
Signal Strength Map: This feature allows you to create a map of your wireless coverage area by measuring the signal strength at different locations. You can use an image file as a background for your map, such as a floor plan or a satellite image. You can also use GPS coordinates to georeference your map. To create a signal strength map, you need to go to the Map tab and click on the New button. Then you can select your background image file and set the scale and orientation of your map. Next, you need to walk around your area with your laptop and click on the map where you want to take a signal measurement. WirelessMon Pro v2.1 will record the signal strength of your connected access point at that location and display it as a colored dot on the map. You can also use different shapes and colors to represent different access points or networks on your map.
Channel Usage Graph: This feature allows you to see how busy each channel is in your area and how much interference they cause to each other. You can use this information to choose the best channel for your network or avoid overlapping channels with other networks. To view the channel usage graph, you need to go to the Graphs tab and select Channel Usage from the drop-down menu. You will see a bar graph that shows the percentage of time each channel is occupied by wireless traffic in your area. You will also see a line graph that shows the average signal strength of each channel over time.
Network Speed Test: This feature allows you to measure the speed and throughput of your wireless connection between your PC and your access point or another PC on your network. You can use this information to check if your network is performing as expected or if there are any bottlenecks or problems affecting your speed. To run a network speed test, you need 04f6b60f66
