The software inSSIDer from metageek lets you scan surroundingWiFi networks. Download inSSIDer 3.1.2.1 from the following link:http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html a. Investigatewireless networks surrounding you home. Use the inSSIDer packageinstalled on your laptop and walk through inside your home, andyour front yard and backyard. Record the wireless networksavailable in at least two spots (make sure you cover differentdistance from your own access point). Capture the inSSIDer screenshots. Give the list of available networks/access points includingtheir technical characteristics like channel number, signal (SNR,signal to noise ratio in dB), security, etc. Include yourscreenshots from the software. Make some observations based on thedata you collected, like, how do you relate SNR with the distance(from your own location to access points), overcrowded channels(i.e., multiple networks are transmitting using the same set ofchannels), etc. b. Can you suggest any way to change your accesspoint’s (i.e., home router’s) transmission setting to get betterreception within your home?
