1. After seeing the discussion in the reviews, I tried another app, and it warned that the newer Android versions REQUIRE location permission to scan networks.
2. For example: Once you tap the band, channel or highlight Wi-Fi name you've logged in to use the internet connection, you pick or select that connection channel as your specific channel.
3. So for those of you running newer versions of Android, you may have to do this as well.The older version worked fine without enabling my location.
4. If you're having trouble with slow or intermittent scan intervals go to Settings > Apps > WiFi Analyzer > Force Stop.
5. I recently got a newer phone, and I found that Wi-Fi Analyzer would no longer display the signal strength info in real time.
6. Android 6+ Users/People who dislike the location permission requirement: Like many of you, I had tried to use the app after a long time and many OS updates, and it didn't work.
7. After long tapping Location in the quick actions tray, going to app permissions, and enabling location for the app, it's working great again.
8. I can't believe there isn't something similar for iOS! The multiple visualizations give me a good sense as I walk around, rather than an app that tells me "this is the best channel" since the best channel can change based on the surges of signals from other sources.
9. If it's not working, enable location permissions for the app manually.I use this tool all of the time to identify congested channels.
10. ### TIPS ### If you're having trouble with it not working at all make sure all the permissions, especially location, are enabled.
11. I was having internet dropping randomly and unstable internet connection from my brother's Verizon's 4G Wi-Fi signal next room.
