Belkin USB wirelss devices have been reported not to work correctly.
WPA and WPA2 support when using a manual IP address is untested.
Program behavior when SSID contains non-printable characters is untested.
There is no way to connect to networks with hidden SSIDs.
Although the application shows dBm (as per specification), for most manufacturers, RSSI values do not translate into dBm. Therefore, the dBm values will most probably be incorrect.
Complex setups such as those made available through the Virtual WiFi project are untested.
When connecting to a network, WiFi Hopper waits for the adapter to indicate that the media is 'Connected'. At the moment, it might get confused if other networking devices detect a 'Connect' at the same time.
When connecting to a network, WiFi Hopper waits till the adapter gets and IP address from the DHCP server (if DHCP is enabled). At the moment, it might get confused if other networking devices experience an interface address change (IP acquisition, release etc.) at the same time.
Data storage used for certain adapter operations is static and will fail on a system with unusually large number of adapters (approximately greater than fifty).
At launch, application's main dialog assumes a resolution of 1024x768 or greater.
Only one instance of application is supported per system.
64 bit operating systems are not supported.
Under certain circumstances, resizing a column may expose a column which has been 'hidden' previously.
Connecting to only one WPA/WPA2 network is supported at a time (for all the adapters in the system). The user cannot connect to one WPA/WPA2 network using one adapter and another WPA/WPA2 network on another adapter. This is because the application only maintains packet state (needed for WPA/WPA2) on the active adapter.
There are known minor memory leaks in the application.
Network profiles are stored in an unencrypted form. Additionally, it file logging is enabled, network keys and pass phrases may end up in the file log.
Under Device Information, Power and RSSI trigger value are not displayed correctly for all adapters.
The packet counters for a given session reset when device re-enumeration takes place (manual or automatic).
After a card is associated, most cards no longer report the correct RSSI value for that particular network. Consequently the graph for the network appears to be flattened after the association process is completed.
WiFi Hopper only stores two GPS items per network -- position when signal strength was highest and position when signal strength was lowest.
If the wireless device is not connected, some of the values, such as SSID in the Device Information Window may be invalid.
Only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are supported. WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise are not supported. Would you like to see these supported? Let us know!
