NetSpot

NetSpot is a wireless site survey and Wi-Fi analysis application for macOS and Windows. It allows users to visualize Wi-Fi signal strength, identify potential interference, and troubleshoot network issues. The software provides a visual representation of Wi-Fi coverage on a map of the surveyed area, often depicted as heatmaps. This helps in understanding signal propagation and identifying dead zones.

Key features of NetSpot typically include Wi-Fi scanning to detect available networks, signal strength measurement, channel analysis, and noise level monitoring. Users can import their own site plans or use predefined templates. The application can also perform network speed tests and analyze network performance metrics. It is used by IT professionals, network administrators, and even home users looking to optimize their wireless networks.

NetSpot offers different versions, including a free tier with basic functionality and paid professional versions with advanced features for more comprehensive analysis and reporting. The software aims to simplify the process of Wi-Fi planning and troubleshooting, enabling users to make informed decisions about network placement and configuration to achieve better wireless performance and reliability.
