See every Wi-Fi access point in your neighbourhood — the hidden ones too — laid out across the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands, with a locator that walks you to any of them. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Browsers are not allowed to scan Wi-Fi on their own, so we borrow your computer’s own scanner. Copy the one-line command below, run it, and paste what comes back — the Scryer does the rest.
Open Command Prompt or PowerShell.
netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid
Windows only lists networks it can hear right now, so give it a few seconds after switching Wi-Fi on.
Every access point your device could hear, strongest first. Hidden networks broadcast no name — they still show up here.
Nothing matches those filters.
Where everyone is sitting on the dial. Overlapping humps fight each other — a quieter channel usually means faster Wi-Fi.
No access points heard on this band.
Pick an access point, then walk around and paste a fresh scan every few steps. The dial tells you whether you are getting warmer.
Pick a target to begin the hunt.
Distance is estimated from signal strength with a log-distance path-loss model. It is a hint, not a tape measure — walls, water and people all lie to it.
Wi-Fi is not alone up there. These readings come straight from the browser — no commands, no pasting.
Headphones, watches, trackers, sensors and beacons share the 2.4 GHz band with Wi-Fi. Scanning asks for your permission every time.
What the browser knows about the link you are riding right now.
No browser exposes a Wi-Fi scanning API — that would let any website work out exactly where you live. Your operating system will happily tell you, though, which is why the Scryer asks you to paste its answer. The parsing, charting and locating all happen locally in your browser, and nothing ever leaves the page.
A “hidden” network only stops broadcasting its name. It still announces its MAC address (BSSID), channel and signal every few seconds, so every scanner sees it. The Scryer flags those nameless entries and shows their vendor and channel instead. Hiding a network is not a security feature — treat these like any other neighbour.
Anything that is not Wi-Fi or Bluetooth needs real radio hardware — a spectrum analyser or an SDR dongle. What a laptop can tell you is where the interference bites: an overcrowded channel in the map above, or a 2.4 GHz link that mysteriously stalls around dinner time, is usually a neighbour, a microwave or a cordless doorbell.
Listening to the beacons that networks broadcast is normal and passive — your phone does it constantly. Connecting to a network you have no permission to use is not. Scry responsibly.
