This integration helps you understand Wi-Fi and Zigbee coexistence when planning, designing, or troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks near Zigbee-based IoT devices.

When you connect a compatible Zigbee adapter, *WiFi Explorer Pro 3* automatically starts scanning for Zigbee networks. Any found Zigbee networks are then displayed in the *Zigbee* inspector.

A list of the columns available in the *Zigbee* inspector is shown below:

| Column          | Description                                                                         |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Channel         | The Zigbee channel of the network.                                                  |
| Extended PAN ID | The Extended Personal Area Network (PAN) identifier.                                |
| Frequency       | The frequency of the Zigbee channel in MHz.                                         |
| Link Quality    | The quality of the link (0-100%).                                                   |
| PAN ID          | The Personal Area Network (PAN) identifier.                                         |
| Permits Join    | Whether the coordinator permits other Zigbee devices to join the network.           |
| Signal          | The current received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the Zigbee network in dBm. |

Zigbee networks are also overlaid on the Wi-Fi networks at their corresponding channel frequencies in the *Spectrum 2.4 / 5 GHz* graph. Each Zigbee network appears as a dotted line labeled with its *PAN ID*. To disable the overlay, clear **Show Zigbee and Wi-Fi coexistence** in the *Zigbee* inspector.
