WiFiFoFum Help
Features Explained
WiFiFoFum scans for 802.11 wireless (WiFi) networks and displays information about each network it detects; including: SSID, MAC, RSSI (signal strength), channel, AP mode, security mode and available transmission rates.

  • Networks
    WiFiFoFums' network view shows access points that are currently in range, and provides a detail view for more information.

  • Nearby Internet
    The nearby Internet tab is designed to help guide users to available Internet access via WiFiFoFum's built in map.

  • Radar
    WiFiFoFum's radar view provides a graphical representation of nearby WiFi access points. The radar positions the APs with those with the highest signal strength near the centre whilst those which have a low signal strength positioned on the periphery.

  • Logging
    WiFiFoFum supports wardriving by creating logs of access point locations as they are discovered. These KML logs can then be viewed directly in the app or emailed for viiewing them on a desktop or laptop.

  • Settings
    WiFiFoFum lets you control many different settings in the app to customise performance to best suit your individual requirements.

FAQ

  • Question: When viewing logs in the map I've noticed that the points being plotted are not the actual
positions of the WiFi APs but the position of my car when the APs are detected. Why is WFFF not able to log the correct positions of the APs relative to where they have been recorded?

    Answer

    WiFiFoFum relies on the location of your device to position APs. As a result, it is unable to position APs with perfect accuracy.

  • Question: What is the number on the red badge on the network tab?

    Answer

    This is the number of access points that can be seen in the current scan.

  • Question: What is horizontal accuracy?

    Answer

    Dilution of precision (DOP) or geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) is a term, used in GPS and geomatics engineering, to specify the additional multiplicative affect of GPS satellite geometry on GPS precision. DOP can be expressed as a number of separate measurements. HDOP, VDOP, PDOP, and TDOP are respectively horizontal, vertical, positional (3D), and temporal dilution of precision. They follow mathematically from the positions of the usable satellites. GPS receivers allow the display of these positions as well as the DOP values.
