The free version doesn't do site surveys.

Does anyone know of a similar one for Windows? I know this is a Mac app, but not all of us are lucky enough to have a Mac yet :)

Here is a similar product for Windows: PassMark WirelessMon icon PassMark WirelessMon

It does a lot of cool stuff. I like NetSpot's maps better, but this has a lot of useful features. It has a free 30-day trial, so you can try it out (I actually haven't).

Looks like a promising app, waiting for updates

Artua

Yes completely agree. There's simply nothing out there for OS X that can come close to doing all that Netspot can accomplish for free

What is NetSpot?

NetSpot is a simple and accessible wireless survey tool, which allows collecting, visualizing and analyzing Wi-Fi data.

NetSpot can visualize your wireless network by building a visual Wi-Fi map. It will let you see dead zones without coverage and place hotspots (Access Points) correctly. Using the visualized map of collected wireless data you will also see channels' load and will be able to decide how to optimize your Wi-Fi site better.

NetSpot is a powerful analyzer of Wi-Fi coverage. Just in a couple of clicks you can load your area map, point your location on the map and NetSpot starts collecting Wi-Fi data around you. It will gather all the needed information for radio signal leakages analyzing, noise sources discovering, access points effective location, etc.

You can also use NetSpot as a powerful wireless network planning tool. Load a map, collect wireless site survey data, build a heatmap of your network and you are ready to build the optimal configuration of a new Wi-Fi network and wise radio channels usage with minimal signal to noise ratio.
