Signal strength, dBm

Signal strength, RSSI, or “Received Signal Strength Indicator,” is a measurement of how well your device can hear a signal from an access point or router

It’s a value that is useful for determining if you have enough signal to get a good wireless connection

Signal Strength

Quality

Description

-30 dBm

Amazing

Max achievable signal strength. The client can only be a few feet from the AP to achieve this

-67 dBm

Very Good

Minimum signal strength for applications that require very reliable, timely delivery of data packets

-70 dBm

Okay

Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery

-80 dBm

Not Good

Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery may be unreliable

-90 dBm

Unusable

Approaching or drowning in the noise floor. Any functionality is highly unlikely

MCS

MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme

This is a way to organize data surrounding how transmitters in Wi-Fi prepare data to be sent using various techniques

Latency

How long it takes data to travel from your smartphone to your Wi-Fi router/gateway

Very basic, very simple, and yet very powerful as a first line of network troubleshooting

Ping is one of the oldest and most basic network diagnostic tools. It’s present in just about every modern, and even not-so-modern, operating system.

In concept, the tool is very, very simple: it sends out an “Are you there?” kind of request, and expects to hear back a “Yes, here I am!” kind of response

Interfering

Other powerful WiFi networks that overlap your existing network

If the Wi-Fi networks around are using the same frequency channel they might be causing the interference as well.

So if more than one network is using the same channel, there will always be a competition for the bandwidth. Large apartment buildings are especially prone to interference issues because more WiFi networks are overlapping and probably using same channels.

Other features

AP index

If your network has more than one AP you will see AP no. to which you are connected now.

Best AP connection

If your network has more than one AP, you shoul be connected to one AP with better signal level. If not, you will see that your network is not correctly setup and better AP with greater signal value is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this application supported by my device?

This app requres Google ARCore library to work properly. List of supported devices available here.

Why do you need location permission?

Starting Android 8 (SDK 26), Fine location permission is required to get Wi-Fi scan results. In theory, if we have list of All of the Wi-Fi networks in the world we can determine your location. Anyway, we do not share or collect your scan results in any way. Reference to the datasheet with scan function description.

Where are videos/images are saved?

Please find them in WiFiAR device folder. Reachable from gallery.
