Today, when almost everyone can catch more than one WiFi signal when they are at home, school, or work, the importance of applications like this grows with each passing day.
WiFi Analyzer for Windows PC is especially useful for users whose homes are congested with numerous overlapping WiFi signals from home and neighborhood devices (this is most true in buildings that have a high concentration of wireless traffic), and for users who are experiencing signal loss due to walls or furniture blocking the signal between the wireless emitter and the client devices.
WiFi Analyzer can quickly diagnose the current network environment and offer users important data that can help them resolve their issues.
- Live-Tile support
- Beeper for signal strength
- Connect to networks
- Use filters
- Prevent screen timeout
- Lock screen rotation
- Change signal strength borders
- Fixed an issue where the app continued running in the background and accessing location due to the deprecated Live Tile feature on Windows 11.
- Added full support for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 (6 GHz band), available on Windows 11.
- Introduced support for new Wi-Fi authentication and encryption protocols.
- Added compatibility with new PHY standards, including 802.11be for Wi-Fi 7.
- Implemented a prompt with guidance when location access is disabled, ensuring proper Wi-Fi API functionality on newer Windows 11 builds.

The UI of WiFi Analyzer is clear and simple, enabling even complete novices to quickly gather a large amount of information about their wireless network environment. The main screen immediately showcases the “Spectrum Chart” tab that scans for network signals and shows their signal strength across the available channels. At the top of the app, users can gather more data in the Time Chart, Network List, and Strength Meter tabs.
All of these functions are available in the FREE version of the WiFi Analyzer app (without the ads!), but the Premium tier unlocks a few more perks – support for Windows 10 live tile, beeper for signal strength, screen timeout, and screen rotation toggles, customizable signal strength borders, filters, and more.
WiFi Analyzer is optimized only for Windows 10 and Windows 11, and compatible Microsoft devices such as HoloLens, Hub, and Mobile devices.

What's new in this version:
WiFi Analyzer 2.8.3
Bugfixes:
- I fixed the issue that the app was running in the background incl. the location was used because the Wi-Fi access triggered it (the cause of this was the Live-Tile feature which is not supported on Windows 11 anymore).
WiFi Analyzer Version 2.8.0
Added:
- Full Wi-Fi 6E/7 support (6 GHz band)
- (Windows 11 only because Windows 10 doesn’t support the 6 GHz band)
- New Authentication & Encryption-Protocols.
- New PHY-Standards (e.g. 802.11be for Wi-Fi 7)
- Prompt if location is not allowed and Info how to fix it (only relevant for Windows 11 build 25976 or higher which now prompts you to allow to use your location, otherwise the app can’t work anymore because there is no permission to access the Wi-Fi API’s).
Bugfixes:
- Feedback option removed (because it was depreciated by Microsoft).
- App-Icon fixed in Windows 10/11 Light-Theme.
- (If it doesn’t update automatically, try to remove and add it again to the Taskbar)
Known issues:
- Recently, there seems to be an issue if you are plugged in via Ethernet, so maybe try to unplug the cable if you experience problems… I tried to fix it but I think this is a Windows 10/11 issue (because in the Developer Insider Preview it seems to work again).
WiFi Analyzer 2.7.5
Added:
- Full Wi-Fi 6E/7 support (6 GHz band). (Windows 11 only because Windows 10 doesn’t support the 6 GHz band)
- New Authentication & Encryption-Protocols.
- New PHY-Standards (e.g. 802.11be for Wi-Fi 7)
- Prompt if location is not allowed and Info how to fix it (only relevant for Windows 11 build 25976 or higher which now prompts you to allow to use your location, otherwise the app can’t work anymore because there is no permission to access the Wi-Fi API’s).

WiFi Analyzer 2.7.4
Improvements:
- You should not see channel 0 anymore in relation to a 6 GHz network (I added the necessary frequencies in the 6 GHz band to resolve the channel number from the center frequency… for full 6 GHz support see below).
- New .com domain for all links related to this app which is more known as the previous .help domain, which a few found confusing (I finally got the domain “https://wifianalyzerapp.com“, which is now used for everything related to this app including the support e-mail).
Bugfixes:
- Various small fixes

WiFi Analyzer 2.7.3
Bugfixes:
- Stability improvements
FREE vs PRO-Features
- SSID & BSSID on graphs, network details and the network count per channel are now PRO-Features and here is my reasoning for this…
What’s next:
- Wi-Fi 6E support (6 GHz band) is planned together with Wi-Fi 7 which is set to arrive in 2024.
