Description

From the listing uploaded by “delfinb”.

WiFi Meter is a simple WiFi scanner which will allow you to see and measure the WiFi networks visible to your Android device. Service name, channel, security status and signal strength are available in a continuously updating list with extra details such as MAC address and security configuration available at a single press. Scanning may be stopped and started at will and results can be exported to a data file to provide a permanent snapshot of your WiFi environment. Use WiFi Meter to: * find open networks quickly without having to take out your laptop or tablet * find less crowded channels for setting up your wireless router * survey your local WiFi network for audits and investigations * get a permanent record of WiFi access points for importing into spreadsheets or databases To start scanning simply press the scan button. Scanning will proceed at regular intervals, press the scan button again to stop. Press any of the items in the list for more information. Use the settings menu to customise the scan interval and the presentation of the results. The network list can be displayed in name, channel or signal strength order and can be filtered to focus on open networks only and/or networks on a particular channel. WiFi Meter will recognise channels in the 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz and 5 GHz bands. WiFi Meter requires permission to access WiFi networks but does not require internet access. An SD card or similar storage is required to export data. Export is to a '.csv' file which is compatible with most spreadsheet and database software.

WiFi Meter APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the WiFi Meter APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6f7293f299cc5e94b4d5555a2eec66a1.
