WiFi Spectrum Display?

**vmark** · 28-07-08, 01:14 PM

Having recently revived an old PC & now running wifi (from a PCI card) to my w/router, is there any free software that can be loaded to "see" spectrum wise whats going on around me?
Like 2.4 AV tx, other 2.4 networks oh and yea them pesky microwaves on 2450Mhz. It would also help with alignment of antennas & so-on.
I thought I'd seen a program some where that gave this style of info within the original PCI set-up software, just had to click on a tab and voila there it was. However, mine doesn't... grrrr!
Any help is appreciated.

WLAN Expert had a "spectrum" display and a VSWR display but this only worked withy some cards. It worked with my DWL650 PCMCIA card but not my Entrasys Card. Netstumbles worked the other way around, with the Entrasys but not the 650.

They are the only 2 cards I have ever botheres to use for scanning/viewing the 2.4GHz band. Other cards I just used for networking.
