Useful in dense Wi-Fi
Hotels, dorms, apartment buildings, and offices can pack many same-name access points into one area.
Free x86-64 Windows app
Stop Windows from sticking to the wrong Wi-Fi access point.
One Wi-Fi name can hide many routers, repeaters, mesh nodes, or hotel access points. Windows may cling to a weak or crowded one even when a better choice is nearby.
Wiregazer shows the individual access points behind the same Wi-Fi name, helps compare signal quality and crowding, and reconnects Windows to your chosen primary or backup access point automatically.
Free app for 64-bit Intel/AMD Windows PCs. ARM64 Windows is not supported yet.
Why it exists
One Wi-Fi name can hide a mess.
In hotels, dorms, offices, apartment buildings, and mesh networks, several access points can broadcast the same Wi-Fi name. Windows often shows only the network name, then decides which access point to use.
That decision is not always good. Your PC can stay attached to a weaker access point, a crowded 2.4 GHz channel, or the wrong side of the building. Wiregazer separates those access points so you can see what Windows actually chose and tell it which one to prefer.
Built for repeaters and mesh
Routers, range extenders, and mesh nodes may share a name while behaving very differently room to room.
Better than bars alone
A strong-looking signal can still be crowded, noisy, or stuck on an overloaded 2.4 GHz channel.
What it does
See the access points Windows hides.
Shows same-name access points
See each router, repeater, mesh node, or hotel access point separately, even when they share the same Wi-Fi name.
Compares more than signal bars
Signal strength is only part of the story. Wiregazer also helps you spot crowded or noisy access points.
Sets a primary and backup
Pick the access point you want Windows to prefer, plus a fallback for when you move or conditions change.
Reconnects automatically
Leave Wiregazer running in the tray and let it switch back to your chosen access point instead of doing it manually.
Switches to an exact access point
Double-click a saved access point when you want to move Windows there immediately.
Shows where Windows landed
The current access point is highlighted, so you can tell whether Windows chose the one you expected.

Wiregazer for Windows x86-64
Choose your primary and backup access points once. Wiregazer keeps watch from the tray and reconnects automatically when needed.
For 64-bit Intel/AMD Windows PCs. ARM64 Windows is not supported yet.
Works with saved Wi-Fi
Wiregazer can switch to access points behind Wi-Fi networks already saved in Windows. It does not replace your Wi-Fi adapter, drivers, or Windows connection settings.
