Android app does a checkup for your WiFi

With webcams and video doorbells, we can see who’s at your front door, but how can you see who might be knocking on your WiFi network?

An Android app called WiFi Analyzer-Wifi Admin Tools from WhiteHat Apps digs deep into the invisible signals swirling around your home or business.

The app has a Reconnaissance page that scan the network to reveal what devices are connected to it and which ports are being used.

It will also look up domain server and MAC addresses and trace the routes a connection takes from it’s origin to your router.

Other tools will test the strength and speed of your WiFi network and chart your access points.

The app, which contains ads, is free to download in the Google Play Store.
