Wireless Network Watcher – это небольшая, но очень полезная утилита, выполняющая сканирование беспроводной сети и выводящая на дисплей список подключенных компьютеров и портативных устройств с дополнительной информацией по каждому из них. Такой список может оказаться полезным в самых разных ситуациях, к примеру, позволит быстро идентифицировать нарушителей, незаконно подключившихся к вашей домашней или рабочей сети.
Из списка, сгенерированного программой Wireless Network Watcher, пользователь сможет узнать имя устройства, его IP- и MAC-адреса, названия компании-производителя и др. Списки подключенных устройств могут быть экспортированы в форматы html, xml, csv или в текстовый файл. Пользователь также сможет вручную скопировать содержимое списка в буфер обмена для последующей вставки в таблицу Excel или в другое приложение. В некоторых случаях Wireless Network Watcher не сможет корректно идентифицировать Wi-Fi-адаптер, в этом случае пользователь может выполнить операцию вручную из меню Options.
Приложение Wireless Network Watcher изначально разрабатывалось для работы в беспроводных сетях, однако, разработчик утверждает, что инструмент также может использоваться для сканирования небольших LAN-окружений (Local Area Network).
Программа работает под управлением операционных систем Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 и Server 2008

When the background scan is turned on, you can use this option to get a 'beep' sound when a new device is detected.

Version 1.46 * Added 'Clear ARP Cache On Every Scan' option. This option is useful for Windows 2000/XP, because if the ARP cache is not cleared, a device might be displayed as connected even when it's not connected, because the ARP information is taken from the cache of Windows operating system. On Windows Vista/7, this option is irrelevant, because the ARP scanning is not affected by the cache.
