NetSpot

The software enables users to perform wireless site surveys and generate visual heat maps of Wi‑Fi coverage. It captures signal strength, channel usage, and other network parameters, then displays the data on an interactive map that can be exported as detailed reports. Real‑time scanning shows nearby networks with identifiers such as SSID, BSSID, frequency band, and signal level, allowing users to filter and sort results or export them as CSV files.

It is aimed at individuals and organizations that need to plan, analyze, or troubleshoot Wi‑Fi deployments, including small businesses, residential users, and IT professionals. The tool supports on‑site measurements on macOS, Windows, and Android, and includes features for predictive planning, channel optimization, and identification of noise sources or signal leakages.

Distinctive aspects include a point‑and‑click workflow for creating surveys, the ability to merge multiple scan snapshots into a comprehensive APoS map, and a native interface that switches between tabular and chart views. The application is offered in a free tier and is described as a stable, long‑standing solution for Wi‑Fi analysis.
