What is Wifi Channel Watcher for GNU?

Assess channel usage of neighboring routers & get an alert if your active channel is not optimal. Troubleshoot wifi without lifting a finger! - angela-d/wifi-channel-watcher

Additional options:

  • MAC address/BSSID lookups of neighbors - Useful when troubleshooting rogue access points or evil twin attacks
  • MAC address caching - No need to pull lookups from the internet when most neighboring routers are likely static
  • Enterprise access point lookup - Useful when you have several access points with the same SSID; reference a list of BSSIDs and easily set custom identifiers (see 'Full Detail' screenshot)
