About this app

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, together with the Bonjour/DLNA services they provide. Further, Network Analyzer contains standard net diagnostic tools such as ping, traceroute, port scanner, DNS lookup, whois, and network speed test. 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
- Channel usage graph - see per-channel utilization
- 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
- IPv6 availability and discovered IPv6 addresses
- Wake on LAN (WOL) including remote WOL
- Scan of custom IP ranges
- Filtering and search in the discovered device list

Routing table:
- Destination & gateway, interface used, flags
- Both IPv4 and IPv6

Ping & traceroute:
- Round trip delay including IP address and hostname for every network node
- Geolocation data including latitude, longitude, country, city, and time zone
- AS number and network name information
- Complete trace route visualization on the map
- Graphical ping statistics updated in real time
- Both IPv4 and IPv6 - selectable

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
- Scan of complete port range or user-editable common ports
- Both IPv4 and IPv6 - selectable

Whois:
- Whois of domains, IP addresses and AS numbers

DNS lookup:
- Functionality similar to nslookup or dig
- Support for A, AAAA, SOA, PTR, MX, CNAME, NS, TXT, SPF, SRV records

Internet speed:
- Test of both download and upload speeds
- Graphical speed test view
- Speedtest history

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

Local service discovery:
- Bonjour service browser
- UPNP/DLNA service and device browser

More:
- Full IPv6 support everywhere
- History of all performed tasks with the possibility to star the favorite ones
- Export by email and other means
- Copy/paste support
- Detailed help
- Regular updates, support page

Ratings and reviews

Extremely useful for anyone that needs to know about or troubleshoot anything on their local network. If you need this to be a little more robust, like working with Mac addresses, particularly with Android 10+ users, you should download v3. 12 to get around android's new over-restrictive rules for developers. Developer has placed a link to this version on their help page. Just side load the app.

This was an excellent app. But now without MAC addresses, the app is almost useless. I had an average of 50 units attached to the network and I had about 95% of all the units individually identified and named so I knew exactly what unit data I was looking at within the LAN scan. But after the 8/24/24 update, the app lost about 95% of the names of the 50 LAN units. So now I basically have no idea what unit I am reviewing after I do a LAN scan, so now this has become a basically useless app!

Pro version. Recent Google requirements make this app less useful. As you can no no longer see the MACs for a device. The update appears to have deleted my custom names. Fortunately, I have a old LAN scan that I was able to export. It would have been nice be able to import the old scan so that I could restore the names..

What's new

- because of Play Store requirement to ship apps using a new Android SDK which doesn't allow apps to access MAC addresses of LAN devices because of privacy reasons, MAC addresses and Vendor names (derived from MAC addresses) cannot be displayed in the LAN scanner
- custom names can now be only assigned to IP addresses
- to workaround this limitation, it is possible to download the 3.12 version of the app from the corresponding FAQ page and side-load it
- various fixes and improvements
