We are happy to release RF Explorer firmware v1.12B31 with support for WiFi Analyzer feature in the 6G models: Download link.
Previous versions only supported WiFi channels in the 2.4Ghz range. This is immediately available for RF Explorer 6G, 6G Combo and WiFi Combo.
Covered channels and frequencies are listed below:
| Channel number | Center frequency (MHz) |
| 36 | 5180 |
| 40 | 5200 |
| 44 | 5220 |
| 48 | 5240 |
| 52 | 5260 |
| 56 | 5280 |
| 60 | 5300 |
| 64 | 5320 |
| 149 | 5745 |
| 153 | 5765 |
| 157 | 5785 |
| 161 | 5805 |
| 165 | 5825 |
One problem we faced while developing the WiFi Analyzer for 5GHz is the large number of channels and lack of official standards. Therefore we selected the ones more frequently used so we can fit 13 channels in the LCD screen. A future option will allow to select a different configuration where less frequently used channels can be listed, too.
Known limitation: RF Explorer for Windows latest version available does not correctly interpret these channels, so this new firmware is intended for standalone use only. If you use it together with connected PC, frequency readings and channel numbers won't be correct. This will be resolved in an upcoming RF Explorer for Windows release in April.
