App summary

Network Analyzer can help you diagnose various problems in your wifi network setup, Internet connectivity, and also detect various issues on remote servers thanks to the wide range of tools it provides.

It is equipped with a fast wifi device discovery tool, including all the LAN device's addresses and names. Further, Network Analyzer contains standard net diagnostic tools such as ping, traceroute, port scanner, DNS lookup, and whois. Finally, it shows all neighbouring wi-fi networks together with additional details such as signal strength, encryption and router manufacturer to help discovering the best channel for a wireless router. Everything works with both IPv4 and IPv6.

Wifi signal meter:
- Both graphical and textual representation showing network channels and signal strengths
- Wifi network type (WEP, WPA, WPA2)
- Wifi encryption (AES, TKIP)
- BSSID (router MAC address), manufacturer, WPS support
- Bandwidth (Android 6 and newer only)

LAN scanner:
- Fast and reliable detection of all network devices
- IP addresses of all discovered devices
- NetBIOS, mDNS (bonjour), LLMNR, and DNS name where available
- Pingability test of discovered devices
- Detection of IPv6 availability

Ping & traceroute:
- Round trip delay including IP address and hostname for every network node
- Support of both for IPv4 and IPv6

Port scanner:
- Fast, adaptive algorithm for scanning the most common ports or user specified port ranges
- Detection of closed, firewalled, and open ports
- Description of the known open port services

Whois:

- Support of both for IPv4 and IPv6

Network information:
- Default gateway, external IP (v4 and v6), DNS server
- Wifi network information such as SSID, BSSID, IP address, HTTP proxy, subnet mask , signal strength, etc.
- Cell (3G, LTE) network information such as IP address, signal strength, network provider, MCC, MNC, etc.

I've always liked Network Analyzer for quickly identifying device names and their associated IP addresses when needed for various reasons. Unlike many similar apps loaded with ads, this one stands out. I'm even considering upgrading to the pro version, as it's clear the developers believe in the quality of their app, which definitely shows. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I rarely give 5 stars unless something is truly exceptional. But who knows may be back after pro.

Deducted 2 stars because of update. Though it seems the removal of MAC addresses is not the developers fault, it has impacted a big reason I got this app for. I will be side loading an older version to get back these features as long as I can find the .apk from a reputable source. I used this app to help identify devices on my own home network so I could label them correctly in my router. My other use is only slightly hampered. Which is using this app to find free IP addresses on my network.

Google screwed over this developer by blocking the ability to perform network scans. The developer is engaged in trying to find a workaround. My only frustration is that I only noticed this limitation within the app when I was in an area with no WAN access. Perhaps the app could come bundled with the sideloaded version, in the event users need to sideload the app in an offline environment? My other suggestion is the ability to COPY mac addresses within the app
