iStumbler - Search WiFi With Ease
November 20th, 2006 - Mac OS X, Utilities
Have you ever been on the road with your MacBook, iBook or PowerBook and needed to find a Wireless access point quickly to send a quick email, post an important blog entry, or check the latest news? Me too, and if you don’t have it already - you need iStumbler, because it will make this task much easier.
iStumbler is a very useful utility to scan available WiFi networks, Bluetooth devices, and Bonjour services, and it comes packaged in an attractive polished interface that screams Mac. It also is smart enough to give you signal strength and other information useful for choosing what network to join - all in one place!

(Obligatory warning: In some areas it is illegal to access a WiFi access point without the consent of the owner, so check local laws before hopping on a random network. Tip: most coffee shops offer free WiFi)

Normal people? Most people interested in this don’t use Windows…

Both your comments make no sense at all. Now..
Could someone recommend a good Windows program similar to this? So the less fortunate of us can grab some free wifi.

Yeah, why do they bother like this is new or something? I dont use either win or mac, and I have many network tools that will show me strength of netowrks. Back in the day, like 4 years ago, sure, netstumbler was interesting, you can even add a gps feature to it. But now days isnt this just included with the os or the network card driver (when using winblows?). I mean come on, this is old hat.

I remember downloading 100 windows shareware programs and maybe keeping one.
The mac programs were almost all keepers.
Went to show you how progams were thought out for fuctionality.

The TRS-80 was not from Apple, it was from Tandy, which has since become RadioShack.

Since, this a Mac OS X program, I’m guessing no one cares about weather you use Windows, Linux, or *gasp* Commodore. Does anyone actually use this? or can attest to the programs ability to detect networks?
thanks!

The TRS-80 was from Radio Shack,
It got the unlikley nickname of “Trash 80″.
Just a play on its name.
A lot of people had a lot of fun with it

Yuri, anybody who asks for a win/linux version of a *Stumbler prog probably shouldn’t be accusing others of being computer newbies.
