CLUSTER NETWORK-SIGNAL-NEARBY · 35 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-04-17
Wi-Fi and wireless spectrum analyzers
This cluster includes desktop, mobile, and terminal apps for scanning wireless networks, diagnosing connectivity, and visualizing signal strength, spectrum, and channel congestion across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and other RF bands. The dated history spans 2006 to 2026-07, with sporadic early entries and slightly more frequent additions in 2025-2026. Traction is led by wifi-channel-optimizer-tool (8 stars), followed by wifi-analyzer (3 stars) and signal-analyzer (1 star).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 15 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
