OSX Wifi Network Bandwidth Monitor?

[d3m0nz3y3]

I was wondering if there is any good wireless network bandwidth monitors available for ML. I am having trouble keeping my 5ghz signal active for a long period of time, tested it on two different routers (linksys and belkin). Wanted to see if everyone in my neighborhood was on 5ghz or what?

Thanks

Option[ALT]-click your wifi menu icon and select "Open wi-fi diagnostics..." then press ⌘6 (or View > Wi-fi scan)

inSSIDer provides a good visual representation of all the networks your Mac can see. Although at the moment it doesn't show networks that have a null (blank) SSID field on beacon frames.

OS X's Wi-Fi Diagnostics works as well but you have to constantly click the pull-down menu and re-scan.

One thing that OS X's tool has that inSSIDer doesn't is it shows the noise floor.

You could also use NetStumbler, it also has a dashboard widget you can use too.
