WiFiman

WiFiman is a network monitoring application. It allows you to easily find out if your WiFi network is being used without permission, and it's very user-friendly – all you need is a mobile phone and the app! It provides several key tools, including speed testing, wireless network detection, and network discovery. Make full use of these tools to easily find devices that aren't connected to your network! It supports WiFi 6 network analyzers and signal strength meters, and with strong technical support, all identification work is easy and fast.

Usage

From WiFiman's main menu, you can quickly access four tabs. The first tab, "Status," displays networks related to your device, such as your currently connected WiFi network and paired Bluetooth devices. The second tab, "Wireless," lists all nearby WiFi networks and their channels.

WiFiman's third tab is particularly useful because it allows you to accurately view network connection speeds. In just a few seconds, you can see your current upload and download speeds. Finally, in the fourth tab, "Discover," you can find nearby devices.
