Wifi Analyzer is a useful tool that helps you select a better channel for your wireless router. Displays the Wi-Fi channels around you. It helps you find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
What is a "Channel"?
A Wi-Fi channel is a range of radio frequencies used by an access point or wireless router to communicate with your Android phone or other Wi-Fi enabled device. Wi-Fi networks operating on the same channel are forced to share bandwidth. The Wi-Fi channels are arranged in an overlay pattern in accordance with IEEE_802.11, and the adjacent channels share a certain bandwidth gap by interfering with each other.
How do I choose the correct channel?
First, do not choose a channel used by other networks. Second, do not share the bandwidth with others.
How can I know which channels are used around me?
Install "Wifi Analyzer" on your Android phone and run it! Switch to the "Channel Chart" view to see the displayed graph.
This was difficult to understand. I do not understand what all this means.
You can use the channel rating view! Press the "MENU", "View", "Channel rating" key, and you will see a list of ratings for all channels. Press "MENU" again, "Set my AP", choose your router by name and MAC address. You can see the classification of your router. A higher rating means better connection quality.
What does "Set my AP" mean in the channel classification?
It means something like "choose my wireless router and compare your ranking with others". It does not mean "connect to a Wi-Fi network" or "switch to another channel" definitely !!
How do I switch to a different channel?
This application will not configure your wireless router and the configuration goes beyond the scope of this FAQ. Please read the manual of your router or google "MODEL_OF_YOUR_ROUTER channel configuration" (Please replace MODEL_OF_YOUR_ROUTER with the actual model of your router).
