Set Spectrum Analyzer
Scanning for WiFi noise by channel?
I'm looking for an easy FREE way to scan the various wifi channels for interference (1-11) and measure the noise floor. I can't afford a spectrum analyzer, especially when I'll only be using it once to optimize my home network.
I believed the easiest way was to use NetStumbler, and set my router to each channel -- then look at the SNR graph. Unfortunately, it won't work on Windows Vista.
What's the easiest way? Is there a equivalent program that can run on Linux (Ubuntu)? Whatever it is must be user-friendly because I'm primarily a Windows user.
My laptop has an Intel 3945abg wireless adapter and runs Windows Vista. I have an Ubuntu 8.10 CD but don't know what I'd be looking for and NetStumbler can't run through WINE.
netstumbler works just fine in vista for me....
try compatibility mode?
http://www.vistumbler.net/ maybe? just found it on google search
