  • This utility can only scan a wireless network that you're currently connected to. It cannot scan other wireless networks.
  • In rare cases, it's possible that Wireless Network Watcher won't detect the correct wireless network adapter, and then you should go to 'Advanced Options' window (F9), and manually choose the correct network adapter.

    • When there are multiple IP address blocks on a single network card, Wireless Network Watcher now scans all of them (In previous versions, it scanned only the first IP addresses block)
    • Fixed bug: In previous version, Wireless Network Watcher randomly skipped some devices after the scanning the first 64 IP addresses.
  • Version 1.05
    • Fixed Wireless Network Watcher to scan the entire network when the subnet mask is not 255.255.255.0, for example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.254.0, Wireless Network Watcher will scan 512 addresses. For now, it's limited for up to 4096 IP addresses, to avoid from very long scanning.
