I've been using version 1.0.5 which does a fine job of identifying closed (stealth) networks. A great help when it came to selecting a wireless channel which wasn't being used by anyone else within range...even if their network was stealthed.


Today I d/l version 1.1 and find that stealthed networks are no longer being fingered. Why was that capability removed? I thought it was one of the best features of the software...if the user is interested in de-conflicting his/her network channel from nearby users.

If you enable/disable the API scanning option in Preferences, you may get the feature you desire back.

Nope, recycling the API scanning option in Preferences made no difference in version 1.1.2. You guys changed something...what was it?

You've downgraded the application from doing one of the main things I was using AirRadar for... de-conflicting my network channel from other closed or "stealth" networks in the vicinity.

Is there a place to download the older version from? I want to retrograde and recover that lost capability.
