Yes, Internet Explorer 8 and later can be used to connect to a new or previously working Internet Explorer 6 or 7 XPanel browser project with no additional modifications to the Crestron software needed. There are a large variety of settings that must be correct for an XPanel to run in Internet Explorer, some general and some version specific. We've provided a list best practices below.
General Practices:
- An Internet Explorer 11 zero-day vulnerability used against security researchers, not yet fixed by Microsoft, today received a micropatch that prevents exploitation.
- Internet Explorer is Microsoft's venture into the Web Browser market. The initial version of Explorer was incarnated from Spyglass Mosaic which Microsoft licensed for a modest quarterly fee and a share of the non-Windows product revenues. As Microsoft decided to distribute Internet Explorer 'free of charge' with their Windows operating system, they were able to avoid most royalties.
- The IP address of the processor should be listed under Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer.
- Be sure that ActiveX will run on the PC. There are several web sites that can be used to determine if the PC has the correct permissions for Active X. If the PC will not run on these test sites, it will not be able to run an eControl 2 project either.

As of Internet Explorer 8:
What does WiFi Explorer do? Discover, monitor, and troubleshoot wireless networks with WiFi Explorer. Quickly identify channel conflicts, signal overlapping or configuration problems that may be affecting the connectivity and performance of your home, office or enterprise wireless network. WifiExplorer is an 802.11 network discovery tool - also known as a Wi-Fi scanner. It was designed for mobile platforms - in particular, Android phones and tablets. Using your device's built-in 802.11 radio, it collects information about nearby wireless access points and displays the data in useful ways. SOLVED: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage If the issue is with your Computer or a Laptop you should try using Restoro which can scan the repositories and replace corrupt and missing files. This works in most cases, where the issue is originated due to a system corruption.
- Depending on your IE settings, you may be prompted to 'click here' to download. Select 'Yes' that you want to download and install the ActiveX components from Crestron. If the first page of the project does not display, refresh the page then press and hold down the [Ctrl] key while the page loads.
- If Internet Explorer shuts down abruptly when trying to connect, do the following (Note: This will reset your browser and its settings):
- Open Internet Explorer and select 'Tools' -> 'Internet Options' -> 'Advanced' and then under the 'Browsing' section uncheck the box for 'Enable third-party browser extensions'.
- Select the 'Reset' button.
- Close and then reopen IE, check to be sure the Control System IP address info is entered under Trusted Sites.
As of Internet Explorer 9:
- If Internet Explorer 9 displays the actual HTML code intead of rendering the page, then disabling 'Compatibility' Mode in IE 9 allows the page to render properly.
As of Internet Explorer 10:

WiFi Explorer is a wireless network scanner tool for macOS that can help users identify channel conflicts, overlapping and network configuration issues[1][2][3] that may be affecting the connectivity and performance of Wi-Fi networks.
History[edit]
WiFi Explorer began as a desktop alternative to WiFi Analyzer, an iPhone app for wireless network scanning that was pulled out from Apple's App Store in March, 2010, due to the use of private frameworks.[4][5] Since its first release, WiFi Explorer incorporated features that were not included in the last available version of WiFi Analyzer, such as support for 5 GHz networks and 40 MHz channel widths. Starting in version 1.5, WiFi Explorer included support for 802.11ac networks, as well as 80 and 160 MHz channel widths. On June 22, 2017, a professional version of WiFi Explorer, WiFi Explorer Pro, was released.[6] WiFi Explorer Pro offers additional features especially designed for WLAN and IT professionals.[7] The standard version of WiFi Explorer is also available on Setapp.
Features[edit]
Standard[edit]
- Displays various network parameters:
- Network name (SSID) and MAC address (BSSID)
- Manufacturer
- AP name for certain Cisco and Aruba devices
- Beacon interval[8]
- Mode (802.11a/b/g/n/ac)
- Band (2.4 GHz ISM and 5 GHz UNII-1, 2, 2 Extended, and 3)
- Channel width (20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz)
- Secondary channel offset
- Security mode (WEP, WPA, WPA2)
- Support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
- Supported basic, min and max data rates
- Advertised 802.11 Information Elements
- Graphical visualization of channel allocation, signal strength or Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
- Different sorting and filtering options
- Displays signal strength and noise values as percentage or dBm[9]
- Ability to save and load results for later analysis
- Metrics and network details can be exported to a CSV file format
- Selectable and sortable columns
- Adjustable graph timescales
- Editable column for annotations, comments, etc.
- Customizable network colors
- Full screen mode
- Comprehensive application's help
Professional[edit]
- Passive and directed scan modes[10]
- Spectrum analysis integration
- Apple's iOS AirPort Utility integration[11]
- Enhanced filtering
- Support for remote sensors
- Support for networks with hidden SSIDs
- Support for external USB Wi-Fi adapters via the External Adapter Support Environment (EASE)
- Additional organization options for scan results
- Dark and light themes
Limitations[edit]
Due to limitations of Apple's CoreWLAN framework,[12] the standard version of WiFi Explorer is unable to detect hidden networks (except when connected to it) and does not support external USB Wi-Fi adapters. The Pro edition supports passive scanning,[10] which can detect hidden networks, and can make use of external adapters via the External Adapter Support Environment (EASE).
System requirements[edit]
- macOS 10.10 or higher (64-bit)
