Small tools worth bookmarking
A short list of free utilities — some built here, some built by other people doing good work in wireless and IT. No sign-ups, no gates.
Built here
Templatizer
A simple template variable replacement tool. Paste in text with placeholders like <variable>, set your delimiters, fill in the values, and get clean output back — no more hand-editing the same config template or report boilerplate for the tenth time.
From other toolmakers
Tools built by other people in the industry, linked here because they’re genuinely useful — full credit stays with the people who built them.
Wi-Fi MCS Index
Interactive MCS index table covering every 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax and 802.11be data rate, computed straight from the PHY formula — filterable by standard, spatial streams, channel width, guard interval and MCS index, with CSV/PDF export. Worth the reminder built into the tool itself: these are PHY rates, not throughput.
