Version 2.6.0/2.6.1

Added

  • Finnish translation

Improvements

  • DFS, TPC, … channels are not recommended anymore because many don’t have Routers and Access-Points which supports it but these channels will still be displayed in the details of the rating pane.

  • Channel numbers on non-vacated networks are showing in the 5 GHz band now (if the width of the window is large enough).

Bugfixes

  • The 2.4 GHz band in the US will now correctly show and recommend channel 1-11.

  • It should show as connected now, if the Wi-Fi Router/Access-Point and the Wi-Fi adapter have different max. security protocols (like router WPA2/WPA3 and adapter only WPA2).

  • Network authentication/encryption may was not correct on the connected network page.

  • On the connected network page, the short encryption (e.g. WPA2) is correctly displayed after authentication now.

Known issues

  • If you run Windows 10 Version 1903 [May 2019 Update] or newer, it is possible that the colors of the graphs are randomized every time you start the app (this is not my intention but is caused by the 1903 SDK). This is not the case if I run the older version of the SDK (but then I loose WPA3 and WiFi 6 support).

Why two different App-Versions

Because Windows 10 1809 has a crucial bug which causes UI-Elements to not respond when used with a newer SDK (like 1903 for WPA3 support).

  • 2.6.1 for everybody who is on 1903 or newer will get the newer SDK

  • 2.6.0 for everybody else so the UI-Elements do not crash.

This is also the reason I delayed this update for a little bit to find a solution…
