WiFi Optimizer gets smarter channel recommendations and more informative visuals.
WiFi Optimizer
- Overlap-aware channel scoring - Cleanest channel recommendations now score candidates against the full channel span at the AP's configured width, not just exact channel matches. Your own APs are included as interference sources too.
- Regulatory channel data - Available channels now come from the UniFi stat/current-channel API, so recommendations match what the UniFi UI actually offers for your country and channel width.
- 6 GHz PSC filtering - Only recommends Preferred Scanning Channels for 6 GHz bands, matching UniFi behavior.
- Band filter on Environmental Correlation - Filter the heatmap and airtime stats by 2.4/5/6 GHz band.
- Heatmap improvements - Smooth gradient coloring, grey cells for missing data, and date range limited to days with actual data.
- Band-segmented generation bars - Wi-Fi generation bars in Airtime Fairness and Band Steering now show band segments (2.4 GHz amber, 5 GHz blue, 6 GHz purple) with per-band client count tooltips.
- Online-only client filtering - All four WiFi Optimizer tabs now filter to online clients only, excluding historical/offline devices from analysis.
- Channel density bars use absolute scale - Bars now reflect actual congestion level instead of being relative to the most congested channel. A single weak neighbor shows a small bar, not a full-width one.
Installation
Windows: Download the MSI installer below
Docker:
docker compose pull && docker compose up -dmacOS (native, recommended for accurate speed tests vs Docker Desktop):
git clone https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer.git && cd NetworkOptimizer && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh
# or if you already have it cloned
cd NetworkOptimizer && git pull && ./scripts/install-macos-native.shProxmox:
