WiFiman review
WiFiman is a network toolkit from Ubiquiti that shows nearby Wi-Fi networks, their channels and signal strength, and scans your local subnet to identify connected devices. It also runs download and upload speed tests and keeps a history of results. It suits anyone troubleshooting a slow home connection, and it is especially handy for people running UniFi or other Ubiquiti gear, since it shows extra detail for those devices and includes Teleport, a free VPN for reaching a UniFi network remotely.
Day to day, you open it to check why a room has weak signal, see which channels neighbours are crowding, or confirm that a new device actually joined the network. Results show the basics clearly: IP, gateway, DNS, SSID, BSSID, latency and packet loss. The Android version goes further, with Bluetooth LE scanning, a port scanner and speed tests against a UniFi Dream Machine.
Why we picked it: It packs serious diagnostic tools into a free app with no ads, and the scale of its user base and ratings on both stores reflects that.
Watch out for: Some features only make sense with Ubiquiti hardware, and iOS limits what Wi-Fi scanning apps can see, so the iPhone version is more restricted than Android.
What we like
- Completely free with no ads or in-app purchases
- Wi-Fi analyzer with channel and signal strength details
- Subnet scanner identifies devices using several discovery protocols
- Speed tests with saved history for comparison
- Teleport VPN gives free remote access to UniFi networks
What could be better
- Best features assume you own Ubiquiti or UniFi equipment
- iOS version has fewer tools than Android due to platform limits
- Technical readouts may overwhelm casual users
