Mostly great. Kinda buggy. Saved names for devices on the LAN disappear and sometimes come back. Currently I'm seeing two "sets" of names randomly applying. Basically all my names disappeared, so I saved new ones. Then the old ones came back. And now it alternates between the two sets. Very annoying. Also auto watcher intervals don't fire. I have it set for every minute, and they never run.
Update (June 2024), sorted out the connection issue but for some reason this app nearly always shows a slower speed test result than any other test I use! 12 months later (May 2024), changed ISP and the app will not show internet connection. A rare thing in the world of apps! A clear, easy to use intuitive interface that does what you want with a few extras thrown in. A really useful tool for diagnosing wifi problems.
Couldn't get WOL to work. Verified my NAS has WOL enabled and working (from another client). When attempting I get "Failed to send WoL packet to ". When I use the ad-hoc prompt I get the same error but this time with the MAC I entered. So the errors are inconsistent (first not printing out the MAC). Also I don't understand why this port scans when you open it. It triggers my honeypot and most of the time I don't want/need a port scan.
