The inSSIDer app is one of my favourite wireless research tools from MetaGeek whose range of products I use often in my Wireless research.
The entry splash screen gives details of the MetaGeek product range and news
The channels screen gives details of both the 2.4 & 5GHz channel congestion, a green bar shows that there are no or a few channels on the same frequency, a short red bar indicates a very congested frequency
The network screen gives details of the channel, this covers the channel, encryption details and signal strength, touching the channel causes more details to be displayed including MAC address, a long touch causes the channel to be selected for optimization, this can be cancelled from the additional info screen
The 2.4GHz displays shows the networks operating in this frequency range and the overlap with adjacent channels, the height of the graph shows the strength of the signal
The 5GHz channel displays the networks in the higher frequency band in the same manner as the 2.4GHz screen
The product gives a good information about the WiFi usage of the RF environment and it clearly shows congestion and channel overlap, which is important when looking at network problems in the crowded 2.4GHz band.
