# AP Tracker Micro App

The **AP Tracker Micro-App** provides a **live view** of all broadcasting **APs and SSIDs**, allowing you to:

- Identify **rogue APs**
- Verify **AP locations**
- Determine **channel utilization**
- Gain insights into **Wi-Fi environment metrics**
- **Locate misconfigured APs**

Simply **start the app** from the home screen, and it will begin displaying a **list of detected SSIDs** in real time.

### **Live Screen**

The **Live Screen** provides a **real-time** list of all SSIDs detected in your vicinity. The default sorting order is by **signal strength (dBm)**, with the **strongest signal** appearing at the top. You can **scroll through the list** and change the sorting order from ascending to descending by pressing (dBm) again.

### **Sorting Options**

You can toggle between different sorting views by pressing the **SSID filter** button. The sorting cycle follows this order:

1. **SSID (Network Name)**
   
     - First press: **Ascending order**
     - Second press: **Descending order**
2. **MAC (BSSID)**
   
     - Third press: **Ascending order**
     - Fourth press: **Descending order**
3. **Frequency (Band)**
   
     - Fifth press: **Ascending order**
     - Sixth press: **Descending order**

Pressing the **SSID filter** button again will cycle back to **SSID sorting**, and you can continue toggling through the options. You can select **dBm** at any time to go back to sorting by dBm.

### **Selecting an SSID and Setting Filters**

You can **select any SSID** from the list by **long pressing** on it. This will open the **detailed live view**, displaying in-depth information about the selected network.

Additionally, you can **create filters** by long pressing on any available data item within the detailed view. Once selected, the item will become **highlighted**, indicating that it is now an active filter.

### **Available Filtering Options**

Each filterable item is marked with a **circle** on the left side of the screen. The following filtering options are available:

- **Addr** – Filter based on the **BSSID**
- **SSID** – Filter based on the selected **network name**
- **Band** – Filter to display only SSIDs on a **specific frequency band**
- **Ch (Channel)** – Filter by a **specific channel**
- **Center** – Filter by the **center frequency** of the channel
- **Width** – Filter by **channel width**

### **Applying and Removing Filters**

To set a filter, **long press** on the desired item and wait for it to become highlighted.

To **remove a filter**, tap the **“X”** that appears next to the filtered item instead of the circle. This will clear the filter.

### **Using Filters**

Once you have selected at least one filter, you can fine-tune your filter list in the **Filter View**.

To access it, **swipe left to right** to return to the home screen and select the **Filter tab** at the top of the screen.

![](https://help.sidos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wave-2025-01-30_21-06-01-png.png?width=240&height=320&name=wave-2025-01-30_21-06-01-png.png)

### **Managing Filters**

Under the **Filter View**, you will see all the filters you have selected. You can:

- **Remove a specific filter**
- **Choose to include or exclude data** using the **PASS/BLOCK toggle**

For example, if you filter by the **2.4 GHz band** and the filter toggle reads **PASS**, only SSIDs broadcasting on the **2.4 GHz band** will be shown. Pressing the **PASS** toggle changes it to **BLOCK**, which hides all SSIDs broadcasting on **2.4 GHz**, showing only those on **other bands**.

### **Focus View**

Once your filters are applied, navigate to the **Focus tab** to see the **filtered list**. Here, you can:

- **Select an SSID** and **long press** to add additional filters
- **Refine your list further** by applying more criteria

To **clear all filters**, delete them individually in the **detailed view**, or return to the **Filter tab** to remove them there.

### **Navigation**

At any point, you can return to the **previous screen** from the **detailed view** by **swiping left to right** on the screen.

Additionally, you can swipe right or left on the screen to move between the Live, Filter and Focus tabs.
