WinFi Lite - new Wifi analyzer tool for Windows

[ColinTaylor]

I downloaded it. It just says loading loading loading. Does it work on the latest Windows 11?

GT-AX6000 | "WiFi Radar" feature has been removed in 5-22-24 firmware update

There was an awesome WinFi Analyzer at https://www.helge-keck.com/, but unfortunately stopped working and disappeared. Now even the website doesn't open. It was showing channels and AP details like nothing else. Anyone knows something about it? I want it back and will pay for it. Otherwise...

I'm kinda out of the loop, but I do remember the requirement is Windows 10. Whether that's an implied minimum I don't know. If windows 11 has compatibility mode that may need to be explored. Also, the depth of the information this app can expose possibly means it'll need admin access/rights

It works with Windows 11.

Confirmed works in Windows 11 with RMerlin provided workaround.

The download link is for 1.0.22.10 version. I have 1.0.22.12 version in my archive.

File size is around 9MB, if someone wants it - send me a message with email address.

Came here looking for answers as I too have used this program in the past. However, I recently found the newest version of 2.0.0.224 on Helge's GitHub posted *last week*! I can absolutely confirm this is 100% working perfectly!

Latest version on that github link is flagged as a virus.

Nevermind, seems all is good. It's a great piece of software btw.

 

[Ripshod]

I can't run it, else I'd say I wouldn't install it.
Do you really trust it now?

 

[Nehaxak]

I mean don't trust me, I'm only a guy on the internet but yeah, seems fine to me, it still installed and runs fine. He said he was ubfuscating the exe, I guess because it'd be easy enough to hexedit and JE/JNE the activation for the pro version as he wants 89 euro for a licence

Upload it to VirusTotal (I did) and use your own judgement on the results shown.

Is it safe to trust software from someone online if they obfuscate the code to prevent easy editing and charge for a license?

No. I did, but I'm happy enough to monitor it but generally no, you shouldn't.

Is WinFi-2.0.0.416 working for others? Seems to be stuck on infinite loading for me. Have tried running as admin and/or rolling back system date manually, but seeing same result. Winver: 11 24H2. Windows Defender doesn't appear to be the culprit.

I just tested build 416 on my laptop where it's currently installed, and it's working fine for me.

Thanks for checking (and for all your other contributions!). Must have required a restart or something because it's now working for me. Bummer that the channel utilization columns aren't included in free version.

This makes it not very different than other similar tools around. I used to recommend it because of channel utilization.
