Wireless Networking Software Homedale

Not all wireless networking hardware comes with the appropriate software to monitor the available networks in the vicinity. The software that comes with the operating system is usually pretty basic as well and does not provide extensive means – or none at all – to monitor parameters like signal strength over time.

Homedale is a portable wireless networking software for the Windows operating system that can probably be best described as a wlan monitor. It uses a tabbed interface that displays information about the local network adapter, the available access points and the signal strength of each access point. The access points tab lists the name and mac address of each available access point plus information about the encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2), the bitrates, channels and signal strength.

The wireless networking software can be used to monitor the signal strength of selected wireless adapters over time which makes it an excellent analysis tool especially for small and medium computer networks.

Homedale has a size of less than 300 Kilobytes and uses roughly 5.5 Megabytes of computer memory while running the background. The software developer does not provide information about supported operating systems; It ran without problems on a Windows XP SP3 test system.

An alternative for Windows users is Wi-Fi Signal Strenght. Linux users might want to take a look at Wavemon which can display advanced wireless information.
