AR WiFi Analyzer

Please help. When first turn on, app asks me to tap on floor. I am unsure what you mean. Tap phone on floor. Tap foot on floor. Please help me. I want to use this app. Also i see these tiny tiny dots. Look like sample points. How do i use that information?

It seems to start analyzing with tiny yellow squares and within 5 seconds they all go away. This is standing within 5 feet of router!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Ready to delete app!!

This only measures ping times, which are at a different layer of the network stack. If your WiFi signal is poor, you will get packet loss leading to link failure, so it is true that there is a relationship between the two, at least as long as you have a working WiFi connection. On the other hand, if what you were trying to measure was the underlying WiFi signal strength as seen by where you happen to be standing, say, do you could adjust your WiFi AP placement such that streaming videos worked best when you and your laptop were sitting on the sofa, then this app isn’t for you. Or me. The app title/name feels like click bait for a cute app made to learn AR programming- and not a very good one at that. The historical map could easily have stitched together the floor pix into a house layout map along with the ping time dots, the app could have recorded the incoming WiFi signal strength and link health stats, and so on.

and not an ounce more. App lets you walk around and area and see little colored AR dots on the ground that indicate WiFi strength. That’s it. Once you stop scanning, you cannot go back and view the area you scanned; you have to start again. Functionality is surprisingly limited, and lacks the utility that would justify it being a paid app.

It tests ping times only which isn’t really that useful. What this should be measuring is throughput. The author should run an iperf server and then be taking measurements of both throughput and ping. Maybe limit iperf to 10Mbps (which is basic usage) but have a paid add on for up to 1Gbps. That way you can map your house with real throughput, not just ping. Would be nice to run your own iperf server for free unrestricted.
