Ubiquiti WiFiman 4+

This app provides just a few features, but the features have worked well for me and the user-interface is fine. And it’s free, so there isn’t much to complain about!

But it occurs to me that it would be useful if this app was also available for AppleTV. For one, many people have their AppleTV connected via wireless, so it’d be interesting to know how well the WiFi connection of *that* specific device was working. For two, the app notes that if you’re measuring the speed of transfers between two devices on your Wi-Fi, then the speed that it reports might be half-as-fast of the actual speed of the device that you initiate the test from. That’s because you’re measuring the connection-speed of *both* WiFi devices at the same time.

For those of us who have an AppleTV hard-wired to our network, it’d be very useful to use that hard-wired device as the server that this app connects to.

For those not seeing the signal mapper or possibly other functions. Yesterday I switched UDM Pro from the new interface to the original interface. By doing so, today I lost some functionality of WiFiman. Signal mapper was one of them. I realized that maybe the interface needs to be in the new interface along with the WiFiman toggle turned on. So, today I switched the UDM Pro back to the new interface making sure the WiFiman toggle was on. Still no full functionality to WiFiman. Then I did a restart of the UDM Pro. Now I have the full functionality of WiFiman.

Updated review: I had encountered lots of bugs with the WiFiman wizard on my iPhone (I have a cloud key gen 2 plus). It was not giving me a signal rating in an old version of the app. Then an update broke it in a such a way to tell me that I needed a wizard to use the feature, which was clearly connected elsewhere in the app. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and it wasn’t until I finally tried on my iPad that the setup gave me the answer- if location services is off the signal mapping doesn’t work, but that’s not the error it provided. Now that I have figured it out it works great… but taking away a star for all the troubleshooting I had to do.
