Wireless Network Scanner
March 30th, 2010I recently came across a free, open source wireless network scanner. It available from the MetaGeek website and is called inSSIDer.
It’s very simple to use, just select the wireless adapter and start scanning. The graph displays all the wireless networks with their signal strengths and shows both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
I ran the scan from my flat and found 52 access points, but fortunately mine was the only one running on the 5GHz band :-)
