Identify/Disect Wireless Network

[Shadow1977]

I was wondering if there is an easy way to see more information about the wireless networks around my home. I want to set up my own wireless network soon, but want to be on a separate channel. Is there in anyway to see more information about wireless networks other than SSID & IP ? I'm open to freeware D.L. if there is not a lot of 3rd party with it.

Grab yourself >NetStumbler<.  That's all you need; it's free and no unwelcome "bonus" software attached.

Thank You! This is what I was looking for!

Can't wait to go and buy a wireless router now!.... Not sure if I should go with new "N" Network though

I would definitely wait for the format to standardise and mature.  Heck even B and G networks have incompatibility problems between hardware from differing manufacturers.

If speed is a priority, I would just lay cable.
