AetherScan RF Spectrum Desk
Standby

Field instrument · site survey platform

Walk the house. Fingerprint the air. Fix the Wi‑Fi.

Guided room tours, dead-zone hunt, neighbor pressure, root-cause triage, continuous path monitoring, and multi-device household reports — still honest about browser RF limits.

Pro scanner

Everything this browser and host can actually read. Beacons and LAN port sweeps stay blocked — those chips explain why instead of inventing data.

Tap a chip to see what that scan can and cannot do.

This device

CPU, memory, display refresh, GPU, battery, storage, permissions, and the Network Information API.

Link path

Live measurements to this host: RTT, DNS, captive portal, WebRTC. Deep probe adds throughput, TLS, audio, and cache.

Air model

Refreshes the spectrum model, then recommends a channel per band from modeled plus logged networks.

Public host

DNS, certificate, and security headers for a public name. Only ports 80 and 443. Private addresses are refused.

Radios & buses you can grant

Each button opens the browser chooser. We keep product identity and drop serial numbers.

Wi‑Fi QR & barcodes

Camera, photo, or pasted WIFI: text. The password is redacted and never sent to the server.

Motion & NFC

One accelerometer sample, or an NFC tag on Android Chrome. NFC payloads that look like Wi‑Fi passwords are redacted.

Bufferbloat

Measures idle RTT, then RTT again while an upload is in flight.

Path split

This device to the app, versus the app to Cloudflare. Separates local delay from the public path.

Gateway check

One request each to common router addresses. Not a port scan. The browser may block private-network access.

Bluetooth RSSI

Pick a device and watch its advertisement strength. A full nearby census only exists where the browser still allows it.

    Sound spectrum

    Microphone frequencies — acoustic, not radio. Stop it when you are done so the mic turns off.

    Scan log

    A running record of scans from this session. Nothing here is a fake RF hit.

      Guided walk mode

      Kitchen → Hall → Bedroom… Auto-tracks rooms, big “I’m here” button, coverage ring.

                We store the image on the pin metadata when possible; parsing is client-side from your text (no third-party OCR server).

                Educational mode

                Why channel planning matters on 2.4 GHz.

                Non-overlapping: 1 · 6 · 11

                1611

                At 20 MHz these three sit side-by-side with minimal overlap.

                Overlapping: 3 + 7 (bad)

                3fight7

                Partial overlap causes messy collisions — often worse than sharing a clean channel.

                How AetherScan gathers data

                • Modeled — physics-style multi-SSID environment for visualization
                • Logged — walk pins, CSV, OCR, netsh, UniFi/OpenWrt/HA paste, family share
                • Scanned — device, GPU, QR, Bluetooth/USB you grant, public-host DNS and certificates
                • Measured — RTT, parallel load, throughput curve, DNS, TLS, WebRTC, stream jitter, SW cache, audio latency
                • Context — walls, people/IoT, microwave, video call, time-of-day (consent)
                • Fingerprint — BSSID OUI vendors, mesh clusters, neighbor pressure, roam boundaries
