Using Wireless Network Watcher

Wireless Network Watcher doesn’t require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply extract the executable file (WNetWatcher.exe) from the zip file, and run it.

Columns Description

Background Scan

Starting from version 1.15, there is a new option under the Options menu – ‘Background Scan’.
When it’s turned on, Wireless Network Watcher first make the regular fast network scan to discover all current connected devices. After that, a continuous background scan is activated to discover when new devices are connected to your network. The background scan is slower and less intensive then the regular scan, so it won’t overload your computer and you can leave it to run in the background while using other programs.
When the background scan is running, a counter of the scan process is displayed in the second section of the bottom status bar.

When the background scan is used, you can use the ‘Beep On New Device’ option to get a beep sound when a new device is detected.
