Spectrum 2.4GHz is an Android application that uses your device’s Wi-Fi hardware to discover, analyze, and visualize every network broadcasting in the 2.4 GHz band. Whether you’re troubleshooting interference, selecting the least-congested channel for an access point, or auditing the security posture of networks around you, Spectrum 2.4GHz gives you the data you need across four live views.

Installation

Download the APK or build from source with Android Studio.

Permissions

Understand why location and Wi-Fi permissions are required.

Scanning

Run your first scan and interpret the status bar feedback.

Channel Reference

Full 2.4 GHz channel map with frequencies and overlap data.

What You Can Do

Network List

Browse detected SSIDs sorted by signal strength with RSSI, channel, frequency, and security details.

Channel Map

See how many networks occupy each of the 13 channels and identify saturation hot-spots.

Time Graph

Watch per-network RSSI trend lines update every 5 seconds across a rolling 10-scan window.

Statistics

Aggregated signal-quality distribution, channel-usage histogram, and security-type breakdown.

Get Up and Running

1

Install the app

Download Spectrum24GHz_v1.0.0.apk from the GitHub Releases page and sideload it onto any Android 6.0+ device.
2

Grant permissions

On first launch, accept the location permission prompt. Android requires this to expose Wi-Fi scan results. On Android 13+ an additional Nearby Wi-Fi Devices permission is requested.
3

Start scanning

Tap the Escanear button. The app triggers an active scan and populates the Network List within seconds. Subsequent scans respect a 30-second cooldown — the app falls back to cached results in between.
4

Explore the views

Switch between the Lista, Canales, Tiempo, and Estadísticas tabs to move from raw network data to channel maps, trend lines, and aggregated statistics.
Wi-Fi scanning on Android requires Location Services to be enabled system-wide, in addition to the app permission. If no networks appear, confirm that Location is turned on in your device settings.
