AirPort Utility
Apple’s AirPort Utility for iOS includes a Wi-Fi scanner you can use to scan for nearby networks from your iPhone or iPad. Scan results include the following fields: BSSID, SSID, channel, RSSI, and a timestamp. AirPort Utility offers different ways to share the scan results, including AirDrop, Mail, and Copy. You can choose any of them to import the results into WiFi Explorer Pro 3. If you have macOS Handoff enabled, the easiest way to import the scan results from AirPort Utility is by using copy and paste. Just tap the share icon, choose Copy, switch to WiFi Explorer Pro 3 on your Mac, and choose Edit > Paste, or press ⌘+V. Similarly, if you choose to share the scan results by using the Mail option, open the email message, select and copy the message’s content by pressing ⌘+A, ⌘+C and then paste it into WiFi Explorer Pro 3 with ⌘+V. Any signatures or footer information found in the email is ignored, so you don’t need to worry about that. If you choose AirDrop, open or drag & drop the text file into WiFi Explorer Pro 3. The same can be done if someone sends you a file containing the results. Just make sure the file’s name has the.txt or .csv extension.
When importing scan results from AirPort Utility, the date portion of the First Seen, Last Seen, and Seen columns in WiFi Explorer Pro 3 will show January 1, 2000. The time field found in the scan results from AirPort Utility only specifies the time of the day.
