wlan channel optimizing

[mylo]

Hi all,


as my wifi does more and more degenerate, I look for a tool/package where I can see the load on the channels. I just want to avoid going kali for this look.
Does debian offer such a pack?

Inside your router's admin pages unless it don't support that.
Tomato, dd-wrt, openwrt,  router firmware can do it also.

linssid, kismet might help also (not optimizing as far as I know)

thank you piper,


the router is access limited (have to migrate, time needed), kismet et. al. are the tools, will dpkg search them!

I just use iwconfig for a onetime short look on quality and current bandwith, not for monitoring. Perhaps these pages are helpful:

Some of the tools mentioned (bmon,wavemon,bwm-ng...) are apt-gettable.

There is also an awesome tool that does the job on android, called Wifi Analyzer.
