Deep visibility into your wireless environment
Focused views for troubleshooting Wi‑Fi performance, coverage, and channel usage.
WiFi Lens turns the raw Wi‑Fi subsystem of your Mac into something you can actually see. Instead of a single signal bar, you get a live picture of every network around you — their bands, channels, signal strength, and how crowded each frequency really is. The views below each answer one question at a time, whether you are hunting a dead spot, picking a cleaner channel, or just curious about what is in the air.
Overview dashboard
Check your current connection health first. The overview shows signal strength, channel quality, security, and the most useful next step.
- Current connection health at a glance
- Actionable channel suggestions
- See which band is busiest
Spectrum scanner
See live spectrum activity across all major Wi‑Fi bands. Quickly spot where things are busiest and which channels are jammed.
- Live tri-band spectrum view
- Spot crowded channels at a glance
- Zoom, pause, and inspect details
Channel quality analyzer
Compare channel scores before changing your router settings. WiFi Lens suggests cleaner options based on your region and device compatibility.
- Per-channel quality scores
- Region-aware suggestions
- Find the cleanest channels
Roaming test
Walk around with your laptop and verify how your devices switch between access points. Review handoffs, signal history, and saved sessions to understand your Wi‑Fi coverage.
- See when devices switch to another AP
- Watch signal changes as you move
- Save and replay roaming sessions
Network interfaces

Menu bar status
ProKeep a live Wi-Fi overview in your menu bar — current network, signal strength, and channel at a glance, with deep links into Timeline events.
- Live Wi-Fi status in the menu bar
- Current network, signal, and channel at a glance
- Quick access to Timeline events
Timeline
ProTrack Wi-Fi events over time — see signal changes, network transitions, and connection history at a glance.

- Signal and network change tracking
- Filter by event type and date range
One dataset, every view
Every feature reads from the same live scan, so the picture stays consistent as you move between views. Start on the overview to see your current connection at a glance, drop into the spectrum scanner when something feels slow, check the channel quality analyzer before you touch your router, and run a roaming test when coverage feels patchy room to room. The network table and interface views are there whenever you want the full, unfiltered detail.
