The Connected Wifi Info app is designed specifically for Android users to easily access and monitor details about their active wireless connections. It pulls information like network name, security type, and IP address directly from the device’s system, presenting it in a clear, user-friendly interface that anyone can understand.

Beyond basic information display, Connected Wifi Info helps with troubleshooting by showing signal strength, frequency bands (2.4/5 GHz), and connection statistics. This utility is essential for anyone needing quick technical insight about their Wi-Fi setup, from home users to tech-savvy individuals wanting to optimize their networks.

App Features

• Comprehensive Network Information Display: Get detailed stats instantly including the SSID, BSSID, IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS servers, security protocol, channel, and signal strength percentage. This immediate access saves time when configuring networks or identifying potential security issues.
• Signal Quality & Band Indication: The app clearly shows the current Wi-Fi band being used (2.4GHz or 5GHz) alongside a visual signal strength indicator (e.g., bars or percentage). Knowing these details helps users identify if their connection is on a potentially slower band and if the signal could be weak despite appearing full.
• Connection Statistics & Performance Metrics: Connected Wifi Info provides insights into your network performance, displaying connection speed and data transfer rates when possible. This allows users to quickly gauge network responsiveness for activities like streaming or gaming without needing complex network tools.
• WiFi Troubleshooting Assistance: Easily check for common connection problems like IP conflicts or incorrect DNS settings. Its simple interface makes diagnosing connectivity issues much faster and more accessible than navigating Android’s system settings.
• Network Security Protocol Display: The app identifies the security type in use (WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3), helping users verify their network’s security level at a glance. This feature is particularly useful when setting up new networks or ensuring sensitive information isn’t transmitted over an insecure connection.
• Last Connected Access Point History: Connected Wifi Info keeps track of the networks you’ve previously connected to. While primarily a status app, this history can prove valuable when trying to reconnect after switching devices or when comparing performance between different access points.
