The applications’ pros and cons
First and foremost, MyLanViewer is a tiny tool that does not require much space and automatically scans the network for you. The program is exclusively available for Windows OS and works well with both older and newer editions (e.g. XP and Windows 10).
The GUI of the program looks pretty old, but the plethora of features the tool offers can easily make up for the outdated interface. Besides providing you with network scanning and statistics, subnet monitoring, and wake-on-LAN functionality, the app also has an embedded messenger option that allows you to communicate with the devices on your network.
Navigating the menu and understanding your options
When first opening MyLanViewer, you will surely feel that the tool has a familiar setup. At the top, there are the four main sections you can access — ‘Commands,’ ‘View,’ ‘Tools,’ and ‘Help.’ The first tab allows you to initiate a quick or a full scan, while the ‘History’ and ‘Favorites’ sections will index the previous search results. Moreover, you have the option to look for certain files or folders in the network and to start the subnet monitoring process.
Still, in the first tab, you can start custom IP searches based on given ranges or IP exclusion, and you can access the ‘Options’ menu that lets you perform detailed adjustments to the tool’s behavior, appearance, and search engines.
The second top section, the ‘View’ tab, is a bit redundant and unintuitive, as it allows you to (re)access the app’s separate windows again (e.g. scanner, history, favorites, etc.).
The third tab, the ‘Tools’ window, enables you to view the network parameters and statistics, open the router control panel, conduct DHCP searches, ping/traceroute to host, access the wake-on-LAN manager, and much more.
