WiFi Network Analyzer programs and MacOS Ventura problem

Hi all !


I have a problem, after upgrading to MacOS Ventura with my Macs, an iMac 21.5 4k 2017 and a MacBook Air 2020, as my WiFi Network Analyzer Programs, ‘NetSpot Pro’ and ‘Wifi Explorer’, both updated to the last version, can’t find any Wifi Network around me; even the network where I’m connected.

The scan only shows a blank page of networks.

On the contrary, if I open ‘System Settings/Wi-Fi’ or I click the Wi-Fi icon on the Menu Bar, all available networks are shown.

In ‘Privacy & Security’ both programs have all privileges set on.


Maybe someone has an help for me ?

Many thanks.

You're right, my system is full of 'trash', soon or later I need to do a clean MacOS reinstall...

I did it with Mojave, then I moved to Big Sur, then Monterey and now Ventura and many old files are still on the HD.

Anyway I often use Cocktail for maintenance of the OS, Little Snitch is in my opinion the best network protection program and VPN Unlimited is my VPN application.

It's hard to remove them from my computer.

Thanks again for all the suggestions :)

Hi P. Phillips, I would inform you that the latest MacOS Ventura 13.1 Update unlocked something in the System and now WiFi Network Analyzer Programs ‘NetSpot Pro’ and ‘Wifi Explorer’ work well in both my Macs (iMac and MacBook Air M1).


My best wishes to you for next festivities.
