Wi-Fi Studio Inspect: the toolbar above live channel graphs for 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, with example networks.

See the Wi-Fi around you.

Slow or patchy Wi-Fi is often down to nearby networks on the same channel. Inspect draws every network around you live, by channel, width and signal, across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Busy and overlapping channels stand out at a glance. The toolbar keeps scanning, recording, band filters and the speed test one click away.

Inspect filtered to the 6 GHz band, showing example networks by channel and signal.

Every radio, grouped by access point.

The graph shows where networks sit, not how each one is set up. Inspect lists every radio in one table, grouped by access point:

  • All bands in one table, including 6 GHz
  • Band, channel, centre channel and width
  • Signal, noise and SNR
  • Wi-Fi generation and spatial streams
  • Security, PMF and fast roaming (802.11r/k/v)
  • Basic rates, beacon interval and DTIM
  • Channel use and connected devices, where reported

Some values depend on what your computer's Wi-Fi adapter reports.

Find the weak link.

When a connection is slow, it is hard to tell if the Wi-Fi, your network or your broadband is to blame. Inspect runs a speed test for download, upload, latency, jitter and loss, and scores each step of the path: Wi-Fi, local network and internet.

Press Explain for a plain-English summary, the findings, the likely causes, the evidence and numbered next steps.

Send proof, not "the Wi-Fi is slow".

Saying "the Wi-Fi is slow" rarely gets anything fixed. From the Explain window, Download proof pack saves a time-stamped PDF of how the connection was performing and where the problem sits.

It includes the network, signal and channel, a full speed test, scores for Wi-Fi, local network and internet, the explanation and next steps. Send it to your broadband provider, landlord or IT team.
