Finding a wireless access point is not always an easy task with the tools available in Windows itself. Who has a notebook for some time know how annoying those can be some times when the signal indication, even when it is on the side of the router.
The Homedale is a program that locates and manages networks, both local and wireless, and indicates the best signal available to surf the internet with maximum speed.
The program also shows the type of protection used by each access point, avoiding situations in which one tries to connect to a sheltered spot without knowing the password.
The software operates with three different tabs, each with relevant information about the network. In Adapter Overview displays all devices currently connected to your computer, and just select the option “Show non-WLAN adapters” (Show WLAN adapters that are not) to show hotspots and local networks.
In “Access Points” (access points) is shown a list of all access points detected by the computer, without it being necessary to connect to any of them. In addition to the network address, signal strength and encryption, Homedale has shown interesting information such as operating frequency and bitrate of each.
The tab “Access Point Signal Graph” (Graphics signals from access points) operates similarly, but instead of simply showing the access points available, makes history with an average signal strength. Thus, it is possible to detect which connection more stable and that will ensure access less problematic for internet browsing and downloading files.
Review
The Homedale is a good option for those looking to complement networking tools available by Windows itself and help search for wireless access points. Although it has advanced configuration options, the program operates simply time to list and connect to different networks detected.
The program is also a good alternative for those who use wireless devices connected to a local network, it allows you to check the quality of the connection and detect possible problems easily. which may hinder the use of some who have not mastered the English language.
