Locate wireless network access points around your environment.
WIFi Locator is a small utility that runs in the background, and monitor the activity of wireless networks around you. For each detected network it displays the following information: SSID, last signal quality, average signal quality, detection counter, MAC address, RSSI, channel frequency, and channel number. WIFi Locator offers the possibility of giving the exact location system that quickly determines device location with 10 to 20 meter accuracy.
MixiDJ search got downloaded with this. Spent all morning removing it from my machine. I thought CNET was supposed to scan for this stuff?

Did what it said

Pros
Identified the wifi in my neighborhood and what channels each is using, including mine.
Cons
Haven't found any so far
Summary
I have been having issues with my wireless connection dropping, even within 10ft of my router. This program identified the routers in my neighborhood and what channels they were using. There was another router using the same channel. Since I could see what channels were being used around me, I was able to change my router to a different channel that wasn't being used. My wireless connection is now stable.
