Description

Controllers Lite is a simple way to test your game controllers before you buy the full version of Controllers. You can easily determine if drivers need to be installed based on whether or not your controllers appear in the left column after they’ve been connected to your Mac.

Try the full version of Controllers at controllersapp.com to use your game controllers to play almost any game on Mac, even games that don’t have built-in support for controllers.

Hint: Xbox 360 controllers require a driver to be installed before they will work.

Once a controller has been successfully connected, a listing of buttons for the highlighted controller will appear in the right column. You can easily test the buttons on your game controller just by pressing them. If everything is working correctly, the button you pressed on your controller will be highlighted in the right column.

Hint: After you connect a PlayStation controller to your Mac make sure to press the PS button to turn it on.

Note: If there already is a driver but it’s not working, you need to uninstall it first before installing the new driver. (Finder》 download》open the old driver we download before》click the un-install apk and run it to uninstall the driver)

Let’s take Archer T4U for example.

Then please follow the steps below:

2.A warning message will pop up as the below. To solve this problem, please go to “System Preferences”, and “Security & Privacy”, then click “Open Anyway” to identify the driver.

Note: if “Allow apps downloaded from” is “Anywhere”, the warning message won’t pop up.

3.After the driver is being identified, it will be installed automatically. During the process, an authentication windows will pop up to ask for username and password, which is the administration account of your MAC (if you have no idea what it is or how to find it, please contact the Apple support for help.). Then please click “Install Software” to continue the process.

4.Now please click “Continue Installation” and “Restart” to finish the installation process.

5.After MAC is rebooted, please click the Wi-Fi icon to “Open Wireless Utility”, then you can choose your Wi-Fi and connect it. (Note: it may take time for utility to search W i-Fi , please wait patiently for about 1 min.)

Network Usage Tracker

Description

• Track your Wi-Fi hotspot usage.
• Zero configuration required. It just works.

Bandwidth+ is a simple app so only tracks the network usage on the Mac it is running on. If you are tethered to an iPhone then it will count the usage while tethered.

At the moment local network traffic is not ignored so Time Capsule backups are counted. A future version will be smarter and ignore Time Capsule data.

What’s New

Updated Japanese translation.

Ratings and Reviews

Best App Ever

Been having problem with my data usage. Had not found an easy way to monitor data usage on my MacBook Pro’s and iMac. Just bought a new lap top and had not turned off auto update for apps. This used up all of my data in the first day of billing cycle. How all I have to do is look up at the task bar to see how much data each machine is using, real time monitoring. You will have to combine the usage from all your devices. For me a God send, no more fighting with the phone company. If I could I would give it 10 Stars.

So Glad For Bandwidth — avoid surprise bills!

I am convinced that this app is helping me to avoid those surprise over-limit bills that I do not want to get hit with! I already have had two warnings from my ISP, so I really gotta keep on eye on Internet data usage. The iMac is not the only bandwidth-using device, but, having Bandwidth always visible in the menu bar helps me keep on top of the situation.

First launch creates all white screen

This happened to me now on two different computers where I installed Bandwidth . At the first launch, the app turns the entire screen all white. The only way to get out of that is to open a second desktop on which to launch activity monitor and kill the Bandwidth app. In activity monitor you can see that the Bandwidth app is shown as unresponsive in that case. Launching the app a second time, the app works normally. People who don’t know how to switch to another desktop and kill the app will literally have to force-shut-down their computer and lose unsaved data to recover from the all white screen.

App Privacy

The developer, Harold Chu , has not provided details about its privacy practices and handling of data to Apple. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.

No Details Provided

The developer will be required to provide privacy details when they submit their next app update.

The best WiFi analyzer apps for your Mac in 2021

Whenever you go online you most probably do so through WiFi. Because wireless networks are so popular it makes sense to ensure the top performance with efficient WiFi analyzer tools.

So what are those WiFi analyzer apps and how does one use them? A WiFi analyzer app detects all available WiFi networks around and should provide you with detailed info on every network it found. You should be able to see which channels networks use, the signal strengths, WiFi encryption methods used, etc.

Why can it be rather useful to know which channel a wireless network operates on? Because in a WiFi crowded space, where every neighbor has their own network, overlapping channels is the most common reason of a slower connection. When you figure out which channels are the least crowded and switch to one of those you’ll see the immediate difference in your WiFi performance.

Use WiFi analyzer tools for everything

A WiFi analyzer app will be able to help you choose the most suitable WiFi network and select the most efficient WiFi channel for your router thanks to comprehensive visual graphs.

High-quality Mac WiFi analyzer tools have the possibility to create accurate WiFi signal strength heatmaps, where you’ll be able to clearly see and analyze the areas with the strongest, not so strong, and the weakest signal and decide how you can mend the issues.

Let’s take a look at some situations when Mac WiFi analyzer tools come in handy:

• Poor performance: There are many possible reasons why websites may load slowly, and WiFi analyzer tools can help you pinpoint the exact cause of your performance issues.
• Unreliable connection: Many WiFi reliability issues boil down to signal interference caused by other networks in the same area, and WiFi analyzer tools can tell you which frequencies and channels are crowded the most.
• Finding free WiFi: Using a capable WiFi analyzer app, it’s possible to discover hidden networks and analyze their security settings.

Here we are overviewing 8 best WiFi analyzer apps for Mac highlighting their pros and cons:

1. NetSpot — WiFi analyzer app for macOS offers the most visual and convenient heat maps and more.
2. WiFi Scanner — WiFi analyzer app for Mac that also detects access points and clients in ad-hoc mode in case the SSID is broadcasted.
3. iStumbler for Mac — WiFi analyzer app for Mac will display networks according to their types, i.e. Bluetooth, Bonjour or AirPort.
4. WiFi Explorer — Detect issues that may be affecting connection and the performance of your network, such as channel conflicts, overlapping and configuration issues, etc.
5. KisMAC — an open-source WiFi analyzer application for Mac OS that can map wireless networks and lay out the info on their performance so you can easily troubleshoot.
6. Mac Wireless Diagnostics Tool — a built-in Mac WiFi analyzer that’s included in all version of macOS.
7. inSSIDer — the basic version of this WiFi analyzer allows Mac users to collect all essential information about nearby WiFi networks.
8. AirRadar 5 — this free-to-try WiFi analyzer for Mac is great for performing large-scale WiFi site surveys.
