In contrast, the software abylon WLAN-LIVE-SCANNER checked at regular intervals for any available wireless networks and lists them in a clear tree structure. Network name (SSID), connection status, network type, encryption algorithm and signal strength are displayed as additional information. With one click the connection to the selected network is establish, unless the access is freely, public or already known.
Features
- Searches for Wi-Fi networks in range
- Display of network name (SSID), connection status, network type, encryption algorithm (if available) and signal strength
- Scan-rhythm selectable
- Connection to free access points or known network
- Automatic connection mode

Reviews for WLAN-LIVE-SCANNER 2023
This could almost be considered “dangerous in the wrong hands” – I was testing it to see what it could do, and it connected to the OPEN network of the printer next door LOL
Even the inbuilt WLAN and Wi-Fi scanner in Windows is quite capable, it is sometimes too slow and tends to ignore some weak networks in your vicinity. This isn’t great news when I am hunting for public Wi-Fi. abylon WLAN-LIVE-SCANNER is an alternative to the native network scanning and connection option. Here is how it fared on.
At a Glance
The simplicity on this application is simply intriguing. The features are presented in a straightforward user interface that will definitely be a hit with anyone. Everything you need is neatly packed into a single window hence reducing the fumbling or number of clicks you will need to scan and connect to a network.
Pros
Automatic scanning and connecting
abylon WLAN-LIVe-SCANNER is all about making the identification and connection to new networks as simple as possible. You can do the sans manually or configure the software to do regular scans and connect to the best identified network. This means that you will always be connected to the strongest networks at all times without necessarily having to waste time doing manual scans and connections.
Excellent Network Management
Apart from just automatically handling the scans, abylon will also list everything it found during the scan even if it is encrypted. It will then give you the complete network details including the encryption algorithm together with an option to connect to the encrypted networks.
Cons
A Few Extras
I didn’t see any significant addition to the current Windows OS network options other than the automatic connection to the strongest network and faster scanning. The connection to strongest network resulted to an annoying jump between networks (there will always be a lag between connecting and obtaining an IP) when I tested the app on multiple open networks with varied signal strengths.
Verdict
It will save you the pain of having to scan for networks and manually connect especially if you are ever on the move. You must, however, prevent the auto connection and connect to networks you trust since the software doesn’t give you any protection from hacker exploits common on open Wi-Fi networks.
