skidmark writes...  free wifi sniffer app "app"??? for what hardware? PC can detect "proper" wifi signals, as can some mobile phones (ones with wifi) not sure what OTHER signals you're hoping to detect though  have you tried different channels on your access point? try 1, 6 and 11 - from what I've read, other channels are pretty much pointless due to "overlap" ... BUT ... of course, you MAY get a better signal on 3,4 or 8,9 if you have a LOT of shit on 1, 6 and 11 around you - better than nothing |

skidmark writes... a device that is causing the interference i guess yeah, ok ... still I don't think the humble wifi adapter can "detect" anything other than humble wifi here's an interesting article in wikipedia Electromagnetic_interference_at_2.4_GHz note especially - Electromagnetic_interference_at_2.4_GHz#Resolving_ interference |

Cordless phones, Panasonic particularly, are renowned for 2.4Ghz interference, even neighbors using them.

I don't know if this is what you were after. It's seems to be more meant for finding an access point. Easy WiFi Radar www.makayama.com/eas...sywifiradar.html |
