Re: Oh and yes.

I use Linux and it has a command `iwlist scan` which will show other APs the wireless card sees. Also, my Linksys+Tomato has a "Wireless Site Survey" function that shows me the same thing.

Which at the time is why I told the phone tech why I went through all the channels and eventually settled on Channel 10 because that was one not being used in my area. The tech tried to feed me some bull that Channel 3 was the only one that would work "well". I don't recall her reasons but it was baloney.

Just for geewhizes is screenshot of what the Linksys is now showing.

I'm running Tomato as well, but didn't know about the wireless survey. I just haven't poked around in it enough I guess. I probably need to update it as well.
