WiFi Overview 360 Pro - The universal WiFi tool, including Widgets.
A powerful "WiFi Sniffer" has now expanded the Android functionality enormously. "WiFi Sniffer" looks for open WLANs and gives a notification (sound, pop-up text window, vibrate and text-to-speech) and connects automatically if you wish.
With this tool, you can manage and optimise your wireless network, get detailed information of the WLANs (WLAN name (SSID), signal strength, channel number, encryption - open or not, and much more) in one environment.
The tab "Ch Check" (Channel Checker) and "Ch Radar" (Channel Radar) are powerful tools to optimise your WLAN. For best performance, your network must use a channel or frequency range where are no other wireless networks, or as little as possible. WiFi Overview 360 gives you the best choice for the channel.
Main features are:
- WiFi Sniffer - the powerful open network finder
- Quick Connect Shortcut - you can set a shortcut to switch/connect quick and easy between/to WLANs
- Change WLAN priority manually
- Includes 1x1, 2x1 and 4x1 widgets with different styles
- WLAN scanner
- WLAN sorting options for "strength", "alphabetically" and "open/known WLANs"
- Automatic WiFi activation at startup - if off, and automatic turn-off at the end
- Manually add networks
- Detailed WLAN information

- Channel checker for the best channel choice
- Android 4.x support
- Tablet support
- WLAN Internet connection check
- and much more …
