I’ve just found another mint application which can make your internet life little easier. WirelessMon is exactly what the name says – a monitor of wireless networks. But it’s not this simple Wireless Zero Configuration present in Windows, it’s something way more sophisticated. WirelessMon displays a great-looking interface featuring all available networks, the strength of their signal and many more details. What’s more, there’s a tiny graph showing their probable position and also list of them splitted by channel. It works really great…

WirelessMon is a software tool that allows users to monitor the status of wireless WiFi adapter(s) and gather information about nearby wireless access points and hot spots in real time. WirelessMon can log the information it collects into a file, while also providing comprehensive graphing of signal level and real time IP and 802.11 WiFi statistics.

A live ‘channel usage’ chart provides information on the level of traffic for each available channel. This information will assist network managers by indicating channels that could be used to reduce interference and improve throughput.

Users of the Professional Edition will have the additional bonus of being able to generate ‘coverage maps’ based upon the signal strength of all detected APs. To use this function, users need to import a map created by an another application (e.g. scanning). Once the map is loaded, users can either plot points manually on the map, or use a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. If done manually, the user selects a point on the map and the program automatically stores information on every AP it can detect there. GPS users need to establish two reference points, then they can leave it to the program to detect their location on the map and store the AP information for each point.

Product features:

• Verify 802.11 network configuration is correct.
• Test WiFi hardware and device drivers are functioning correctly.
