Unfortunately Netstumbler doesn't support the wireless adaptor (Broadcom 4322AG a/g/n) in my laptop, whereas it did in my old (dead) laptop. When I'm setting up wireless networks it's useful to be able to scan the networks in range to make sure I set the router to a channel which is a reasonable distance away from any that are already being used.Running Vista? Try inSSIDe: http://www.wi-spy.co.uk/products/inssider.html (You don't need the WiFi dongle) That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. And the spectrum graph even serves as a reminder of which channels overlap with each other. Better than NetStumbler! |
