ESP8266 NodeMCU WiFi Network Scanner
ESP8266 NodeMCU Wi-Fi Scanner allows you to easily locate visible wireless networks and its corresponding information. This program obtains the network name (SSID), signal strength (RSSI) and MAC Address, security.
Wi-Fi Scanner is useful for normal access point users who need to find out the signal strength distribution for their wireless network at home, or choose a position for their access point for optimal signal quality.
Using Wi-Fi Scanner, you can evaluate the allocation of wireless networks by channel and select the least congested bandwidth for their access point, allowing them to increase their connection speed significantly. Continue reading ESP8266 NodeMCU WiFi Network Scanner
