WiFi Analyzer Requested in App
NetGear Team, I found out that using a WiFi analyzer helps the end user determine which bands to set the NightHawk routers to for minimal interference from a crowded WiFi environment. Thankfully...
It's certainly good to have these features built into routers but we still need apps for use on mobile devices in order to be able to move around the environment to measure Wi-Fi dead spots, ideal reception locations, fall-off of 5GHz signals, etc. This is why I raised another discussion asking why the Netgear WiFi Analytics app has been removed from the Google Play Store. I would far rather use an app from Netgear than rely on an unknown source, 3rd-party app. Certainly, the WiFi Analyzer (open source) from VREM appears to offer similar features but I haven't used it myself so can't vouch for it. Is this the one you're using?
If Netgear don't put their app back on the Play Store, I may be forced to use someone else's.
