Find better Wi-Fi
Signal radar scores your connection as you move, nearby-network scans show who shares your channel, and Kilobat suggests a quieter one.
brew install seifip/kilobat/kilobatGetting warmer. Keep going.
DNS lookups are slow. Compare Cloudflare or Google DNS, then restore Automatic if it does not help.
Slow internet, but why? Kilobat checks Wi-Fi, router, internet and DNS, and names the culprit.
Radar samples your signal and noise several times a second and turns them into one score. Walk a few steps and pause: it tells you when you are getting warmer, and when your previous spot was stronger. Save spots by name to compare rooms.
Stronger Wi-Fi doesn’t always mean faster internet, so Kilobat pairs the radar with a router and internet check.
Scan nearby networks to see their signal, channel, band and width. Channel crowding estimates which channel is least busy, so you know what to set in your router.
For floor-plan surveys and heatmaps, a dedicated tool like NetSpot goes further. See Kilobat vs NetSpot.
macOS requires Location access before any app can read Wi-Fi network names or scan nearby networks. Your location is not sent anywhere.
Radar, scans and channel crowding are part of Pro, $19 once, with a 14-day free trial.
