said by antdude  :said by ChiefGeek :That's a great idea, not sure why we didn't think of that earlier! I just logged a feature request for a preference to turn off the graphs. Also, we just released a new beta with GPS support and the ability to export data to .ns1 files... these features were submitted by an inSSIDer user... go open source!  Thanks for dropping by! Second that...

Is there anyway you could give users the option to not display the graphs at the bottom of the inSSIDer window? I like and use the tabular display but don't really need the graphs.
Thanks...

said by Thane_Bitter :said by ryanlin2002 :finally, a replacement for netstumbler As old as Netstumbler is, I still find that it gives more accurate signal readings then inSSIDer, it could just be my Wi-Fi card, I am not sure. Still I really like inSSIDer, and the channel view makes it far easier to explain channel overlap to a non-techical person. It is possible that NetStumbler is getting more accurate readings from the Wi-Fi card as it uses a special driver and inSSIDer uses informatin from NDIS. If you could send side-by-side screenshots or .ns1 files from each (supported in the inSSIDer beta we released yesterday) to me (ryan@metageek.net) we'll look into it.
I'm glad you like the channel view; it is so easy to show people the problem with throwing up a high power network on channel 4 when there are already active networks on 1 and 6. Our neighbors had access points on 4 and 9, which didn't leave us a quiet channel to use. I used the channel view to show him how the configuration caused problems for us, and used Wi-Spy to show how much NOISE their cordless headsets caused across the entire 2.4 GHz band. The next day he'd moved the APs to 1 and 11... now if only they'd get rid of their cordless headsets |

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory. |

The USB 'Antenna' is part of the WI-SPY product, which is a 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer. It is used to identify sources of radio signals in the same frequency range as wifi.
inssider is free product used to monitor / measure access points

I have been using the older version for a while & switched to the new one recently. It meets my needs very well. Multiple cards and all. Highly recommended.
