NetStumbler (also known as Network Stumbler) is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP.

The program is commonly used for:

• Wardriving


• Verifying network configurations


• Finding locations with poor coverage in a WLAN


• Detecting causes of wireless interference


• Detecting unauthorized ("rogue") access points


• Aiming directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links
