About WifiInfoView
WifiInfoView scans the wireless networks around you and shows the SSID, MAC address, PHY type, RSSI, signal quality, frequency, channel, maximum speed, router manufacturer and, where broadcast, the router model and name. Selecting a network shows its raw Wi-Fi information elements in hexadecimal.
Summary modes group networks by channel, manufacturer, PHY type or maximum speed. It can export selected access points to a .pcap file for Wireshark, save lists to CSV, HTML, XML or JSON from the command line, and connect to a chosen access point.
