Original
Various Gnome Stuff desktop network networking notify wifi
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/angela-d/wifi-channel-watcher
Assess channel usage of neighboring routers / access points and get a desktop alert if your active channel is not optimal (has more than 1 user on it, other than you). Troubleshoot your wifi without lifting a finger!
Additional options:
- Suggest a better, less congested channel
- MAC address/BSSID lookups of neighbors - Useful when troubleshooting rogue access points or evil twin attacks
- MAC address caching - No need to pull lookups from the internet when most neighboring routers are likely static
- Enterprise access point lookup - Useful when you have several access points with the same SSID; reference a list of BSSIDs and easily set custom identifiers (see 'Full Detail' screenshot)
Installation options:
- Basic git clone > run script
- Optional systemd user service (no root or sudo required) install (see wiki: https://github.com/angela-d/wifi-channel-watcher/wiki/Installing ) for details
