MeeWiMan - Wi-Fi scanner for N9

MeeWiMan by Artem Bukin is a Wi-Fi scanner for Nokia N9. The application scans for WLAN signals in your area, what is very helpful when there are many different connections available. Some are protected and blocked while others have such a weak signal that they are unsuitable. MeeWiMan tells you which ones are good or bad.



As soon as you pressed the Scan button MeeWiMan shows a list of found Wi-Fi hotspots. The strength of signal is shown in the typical dBm unit - where the strongest wireless network signal is around -10 to -30 dBm.
Everything which is higher than -50dBm gets a green color, confirming that it is a very suitable connection. If the number is lower than -90dBm it's colored red, what means you shouldn't even try to use that wireless network.

MeeWiMan shows further informations by tapping the name of a Wi-Fi signal. Those are service sets SSID, BSID or what kind of security (like WPA or WPA2 which are two security protocols for Wi-Fi connections). In addition you find two shortcuts: Connect (to the chosen signal) and Settings which brings you to N9's wireless connection settings menu.
