Introduction
Look at the Channel Graph. If your router uses 40 MHz bonding (common for faster speeds), it will look like a wide plateau covering two channels. However, in crowded areas, bonding actually increases interference. The analyzer shows you if your wide channel is stomping on neighbors. Consider downgrading to 20 MHz width in the app’s settings to increase stability. wifi analyzer kevin yuan

2. Dead Zones & Antenna Placement Your router’s placement matters. Putting it in a closet or behind a TV kills signal. By walking around your home with the analyzer, you can map signal strength drop-offs, identifying exactly where the signal falls below -70 dBm (the threshold for reliable streaming). The analyzer shows you if your wide channel
