Free WiFI network scanner: inSSIDer

Just read something about this piece of software in a Dutch Computer Magazine (Computer Idee).

Might be a good tip if you have trouble with your WLAN. Anyone any experiences with this?

Yes, I run it on occasion to see what other Wi-Fi networks are running on which channels near me. This helps me pick an unused or less used channel for my Wi-Fi access point.
