Programs for Wi-Fi, work with wireless networks and 3G/4G modems
I decided to make another separate page on which to collect all the useful programs that may come in handy when setting up / connecting to wi-fi, distributing Wi-Fi from a laptop, and when working with 3G / 4G modems. Well, and other programs that somehow relate to this topic. There are many good, free programs that allow you, for example, to start distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi from your computer. Or see the password forgotten from the Wi-Fi network. Well, a separate software with which you can configure 3G / 4G modems, and perform other operations with them (firmware, uploading .prl files, etc.).
All the programs that you can find and download on this page have been checked by me, and detailed instructions are most likely written for them, the link to which will also be.
Programs for configuring Wi-Fi distribution
Switch Virtual Router – using this program, you can quickly start distributing the Internet via Wi-Fi from your computer. The program is completely free. It is enough to set the network name, password, click on the Start button and open general access to the Internet. There are settings, you can configure the launch of the program with the computer turned on, and the automatic launch of a virtual Wi-Fi network.
It also displays a list of clients that are connected to your wi-fi. Switch Virtual Router works fine in Windows 10, tested. Well, in Windows 7 and 8 there will be no problems.
Programs for working with Wi-Fi networks
inSSIDer is a free program that allows you to view information about Wi-Fi networks that your computer sees. Most often, the inSSIDer program is used to find the most free channel for a Wi-Fi network.
All information in the program is displayed in the form of graphs. In addition to the channel of a specific Wi-Fi network, you can find out its MAC address, name (SSID), signal strength, protection type, operating mode, etc. The program supports Wi-Fi networks at a frequency of 5GHz.
WirelessKeyView is a small free program with which you can find out the forgotten password from your Wi-Fi network. It is enough to run WirelessKeyView on a computer (no installation required) that has previously connected to your Wi-Fi network, and the program will show all Wi-Fi networks (to which you have previously connected) and their passwords.
Then we just find our network in the list, and look at the forgotten password.
You can download WirelessKeyView from the link: http://www.nirsoft.net/toolsdownload/wirelesskeyview.zip
Some antiviruses see this program as a threat. I think this is a false positive, due to such a few spyware features of the program.
Programs for working with 3G/4G modems
AxesstelPst EvDO BSNL is a program that allows you to configure a 3G / 4G modem (antenna) for maximum reception. I believe that everyone who connects to the Internet via a 3G modem should use this program.
We launch the program on the computer, look at certain indicators, and use them to set up the modem, or antenna, and fix them. This will increase the speed of 3G Internet, well, and increase the stability of its work.
