SwiftNetScanNetwork Gear Scanner
Point your camera at a router, modem, ONT or switch. The scanner labels each component on the photo and generates a step-by-step connection checklist — WAN, LAN, cables and LED indications — for exactly the gear it detected.
Capture
Open the camera on your phone or upload a photo of the device and its cabling.
Identify
Every networking component gets a numbered label directly on the image.
Connect
Follow the generated checklist: power, WAN uplink, LAN cabling, wireless, LED verification.

What the connection checklist covers
The checklist is generated from the components in your photo, grouped in the order you should physically work through them:
- Power — connect the supplied adapter, confirm the power LED is solid rather than blinking.
- WAN / Internet — the uplink from the modem or ONT into the router's WAN port (usually a differently coloured RJ45 socket).
- LAN / Wired — the numbered LAN ports for PCs, consoles, TVs and access points, and which cable category to use.
- Wireless — antenna placement, SSID and password setup, band choice.
- LED indicators — what each light should look like when the link is healthy, and what a red or blinking state means.
- Verify — run a speed test and a packet loss test to confirm the link is stable before you tidy the cables.
