Scan Nearby Networks

Set Up the Local Scan Agent

Browsers can't scan Wi-Fi on their own. A small Python script on your computer runs the scan and hands the results to this page. It listens on 127.0.0.1 only and needs no admin rights.

1. Download tracewaves-agent.py or fetch it in Terminal:
   curl -fsSLO https://tracewaves.app/tracewaves-agent.pyCopy
2. Install it as a background service that starts on login:
   python3 tracewaves-agent.py --installCopy
   Or run it just for now with python3 tracewaves-agent.py. On Windows, use py instead of python3.
3. Come back here and choose Check Again. If your browser asks to allow access to devices on your local network, allow it.

Python 3.6+ with no extra packages. Remove it anytime with python3 tracewaves-agent.py --uninstall.
