Advanced Port Scanner review
A focused Windows utility for discovering devices, ports, and services without a license fee.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Advanced Port Scanner is free Windows desktop software from Famatech Corp. for network administrators and IT professionals. It scans specified IP ranges and ports to identify network computers, open TCP and UDP ports, and versions of programs running on detected ports. The tool suits teams that need a direct way to inspect reachable devices and services on Windows networks, including small, mid-market, and enterprise environments.
Its main strength is the breadth around port and device discovery. Multi-threaded scanning supports TCP and UDP open-port detection, while network-device information collection and program-version detection add context to scan results. Computer lists can be saved in XML, HTML, and CSV formats. The software also includes HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, Telnet, RDP, and Tracert tools, plus Wake-on-LAN and remote computer shutdown and reboot. These features make it more useful for operational network checks than a port scanner limited to detection alone.
Advanced Port Scanner is presented as a free product with a single Free plan covering network scanning, open-port detection, and TCP and UDP scanning. It deploys as Windows desktop software and integrates with Famatech’s Radmin remote-control software for connecting to discovered computers. The focus remains narrow: port and device discovery rather than performance monitoring or path analysis. Choose it when Windows-based scanning, service identification, exports, and related remote actions match the task. Consider another category tool when diagnostics must center on network performance or route behavior.
