Hardware
Find your hardware path.
Use a unified Linux sensor, a Bluetooth companion or equipment you already own.
Every board runs the same app. They differ in how the radio connects, where captures are written, how wide a channel they capture, and how you power and carry them. Compare the boards side by side, or pick one:
NanoPi Zero2 →
A small, cheap board with one M.2 slot for a Wi-Fi 7 card. The most-tested build, with an illustrated parts and assembly guide.
One M.2 Wi-Fi 7 card (QCNCM865 or BE200) · BE200 captured 320 MHz outside the app; 160 MHz measured in itUnified imageRaspberry Pi 5 →
The board for 320 MHz capture and relative spectrum with a Qualcomm card, with USB 3 for extra adapters and an optional touch console.
PCIe card through an M.2 HAT, plus USB adapters · 320 MHz measured (QCNCM865)Unified imageRaspberry Pi 4 / WLAN Pi R4 →
No M.2 slot, but USB 3 ports for Wi-Fi 7 adapters. The original WLAN Pi R4 display and buttons are supported.
USB adapters only · 160 MHz measured (MT7925U)Unified imageWLAN Pi Pro →
Two Intel BE200 radios, PoE with battery backup, and front-panel menus. The choice for two channels at once.
Two Intel BE200 · 160 MHz in the app; BE200 can do 320Unified imageWLAN Pi Go →
A small enclosed BE200 sensor with internal antennas, managed and powered over one USB-C cable.
Intel BE200, internal antennas · 320 MHz on 6 GHz tuned; app offers 160Bluetooth firmwareESP32-C5 →
A tiny 2.4/5 GHz board that streams observations and ANQP to the app over Bluetooth.
Built-in 2.4/5 GHz, 1×1 · 40 MHz; no 6 GHzExperimental integrationGL.iNet Mudi 7 →
Keeps GL.iNet's firmware; adds Wi-Fi capture on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz and a 5G modem for cellular tests.
Built-in WCN7850 on the stock driver · 20 MHz qualified; WCN7850 can do 320Experimental integrationGL.iNet Slate 7 Pro →
Captures on 2.4 or 5 GHz through GL.iNet's own firmware, one radio at a time.
Built-in MediaTek MT7990 · 20 MHz (stock) or 80 MHz (our image) qualified; hardware 320Experimental integrationUbiquiti AirWire →
Two 2×2 radios on 5 and 6 GHz and a dedicated spectrum chip. Runs the WLAN Commander image or its own firmware over USB.
Built-in 5 GHz + 6 GHz, 2×2 each; no 2.4 GHz · 320 MHz on 6 GHz (spec); not yet capturedThe board does not determine every radio feature. The card or adapter sets the bands and widths; see compatibility.
Use hardware you already own
The app also includes integrations for other Linux sensors, Ruckus APs, Ekahau and Oscium equipment, and selected spectrum sources. Model, firmware and transport affect the available operations.
