Reviewed by Andrew Riedel

CommView for WiFi is a special edition of CommView designed for capturing and analyzing network packets on wireless 802.11a/b/g networks. CommView for WiFi gathers information from the wireless adapter and decodes the analyzed data. With CommView for WiFi you can see the list of network connections and vital IP statistics and examine individual packets.
