The vast majority of homes and offices use a wireless network to connect more than one device, so from Neoteo we bring you the five free tools to monitor the Wi-Fi network. And this way know if you have intruders and check its performance.
TamoSoft Throughput Test
We'll start with TamoSoft Throughput Test, a very useful utility to check the performance of your wireless network (also by cable). The tool calculates data transfer in Megabits per second between different devices connected to the same network. Through easy-to-understand graphs you will observe the network performance. TamoSoft Throughput Test is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
Wireless Network Watcher
We continue with Wireless Network Watcher, an application with which you can detect intruders connected to your wireless network. The utility shows you a list of all connected devices, and for each one you will get the IP address, the network adapter company name, and the number of times the intruder has connected. Wireless Network Watcher is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
SoftPerfect WiFi Guard
SoftPerfect WiFi Guard is a tool with which you can also explore your Wi-Fi network in real time, but unlike Wireless Network Watcher you can create scan ranges and set an audio file and a pop-up window when an intruder connects to the network. SoftPerfect WiFi Guard is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
Fing - Network Tools
For users who use different platforms we'll talk about Fing - Network Tools, an application that scans your network for devices connected to your network.
