Master Wi-Fi on your Mac! Get platform-specific support for NetSpot on macOS.
Category Guidelines
-
Why use this category? This is the dedicated hub for the original NetSpot experience. Use this category to discuss macOS-specific features, such as Inspector Mode for real-time analysis, managing your survey projects on a MacBook, or troubleshooting Location Services and permissions required for data collection on recent macOS versions (including Sequoia and Tahoe).
-
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have? While general categories like * Wi-Fi Site Surveys cover the theory, this category is about the macOS software itself. It focuses on the unique behavior of Apple’s AirPort wireless interface, macOS-specific keyboard shortcuts in Planning Mode, and performance optimization for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) vs. Intel-based Macs.
-
What should topics in this category generally contain? To help other Mac users assist you, please include:
-
Your System Info: Which version of macOS are you running and what is your Mac model?
-
App Version: Are you using the latest NetSpot 5.x or an earlier build?
-
Permissions Status: Have you enabled Location Services for NetSpot (required for scanning)?
-
The Specific Interaction: Are you having trouble with map imports (PDF/image), iPerf test parameters, or exporting your reports to your Mac’s file system?
