inSSIDer is a great tool for anyone who needs to manage their Wi-Fi networks. It provides a detailed report of the signal state, channel and configuration problems and allows users to view the network information such as SSID, MAC, data rate, security, and more. The best part is that it allows users to select the best wireless channel for their network. Highly recommended!
