What is WiFiman Desktop?
WiFiman is a mobile and desktop app that allows users to scan their local network for active devices and configure them. The mobile app has a more sophisticated discovery process and can display generic devices in the network, while the desktop version currently only uses the Ubiquiti discovery protocol and can only show devices that replied to discovery beacons. The app's primary goal is to help users configure their local network and connect new devices.
