No. WiFi Explorer is required to use CoreWLAN, Apple’s official framework for Wi-Fi scanning, and this framework does not recognize external wireless adapters. Support for externals Wi-Fi adapters is available in WiFi Explorer Pro using EASE.
Can I use external Wi-Fi adapters with WiFi Explorer? What about WiFi Explorer Pro?
