WiFi Analyzer
by Volker Weber
When I needed a quick WiFi analysis, what did I turn to? The Android phone. Kevin Yuan has written a really cool WiFi analyzer and published it in the Android Market - for free. Turns out all three APs are on the right channel. 11 is for SonosNet.

Yes, lovely product.
One of the few polished Android apps.
Cool. Just tried it out. Hmmmm, perhaps I should move my network to a different channel - a couple of my neighbours have wifi on 13 while mine is at 11.
Thanks!
Jens, same here. I have 3 others around me, and all seemed to stick to the lower channels. So I changed mine to channel 10 and guess what: Wifi Analyzer still sees my AP on channel 4, where it was before. The 'Thinkvantage Access Connections' gizmo on my Thinkpad correctly displays the new channel for my AP.
OK, checked the online help. It's an Android bug. Need to reboot the phone.
