What is NS1 file?

The file with the extension NS1 is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Marius Milner. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. NetStumbler NS1 Log appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open NS1 file?

The most common problem when using NetStumbler NS1 Log is that a specific NS1 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NS1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NS1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NetStumbler

The first step is to check if the computer has the NetStumbler program installed. This can be achieved by typing NetStumbler into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support NS1 files.

Programs to open NS1 file

Remember to download programs supporting NS1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NetStumbler with NS1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NS1 file to open in the NetStumbler application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NS1 file with the NetStumbler program.

Step 3. Update NetStumbler to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NetStumbler program with the NetStumbler NS1 Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Marius Milner website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NS1 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NS1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NS1 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NS1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NS1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NS1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Marius Milner help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NS1 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NS1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NS1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
