How to Purchase CommView for WiFi

Driver Installation

CommView for WiFi is a tool for monitoring wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax networks. You must have a compatible wireless adapter to use this product. In order to enable the monitoring features of your wireless adapter, you will need to use the special drivers that come with this product. When CommView for WiFi is not running, your adapter will be able to connect and communicate with other wireless hosts or access points, as it normally does. When CommView for WiFi is running, your adapter will be put in passive, promiscuous monitoring mode with no connectivity.

Prior to installing the new driver for your wireless adapter, be sure that your adapter is compatible with this product.  The list of compatible adapters can be found at the following URL:
