I'm trying to figure out why Issider is showing my 5G network on channel
0? This is when I select the channel graph for 2.4 GHz. When I switch
to the 5 G channel graph, I dont' see anythign on the right graph..but
the same routers signal strengths on the left.

Most routers in my neighborhood are set to 1.
It's weird.

1? Dunno what routers you work with but of Linksys, DLink,& Netgear's I've
seen they all default to center which is 6. Do a scan of any neighborhood
and that's where you'll find 99% of the WAPs.
As I said, this is likely because 1& 11 have major attenuation at their
respective lower& upper edge of spectrum because there is not enough room
to fit 20mhz centered on the extremes. Showing the actual width
characteristics is one of the nice things about how InSSIDer displays scans.

Yes, the true non overlappable channels are 1 6 and 11, but then again,
you can eke out some throughput by going to a less congested channel.
The thing is that most routers default to 1.
So I changed mine to 6 and got great benefits.

Good luck on that, on 2.4ghz there are only 1, 6, 11 that don't overlap
and then
factor in the 40mhz vs. 20mhz issue. 1& 11 are nearly useless since
they don't
provide enough spectrum for 20mhz much less 40mhz.
After years of using Netstumbler to survey, I now use InSSIDer.

To search the SSID's of other AP's and their Channels, in hope that
you can
set your AP's channel to something less congested and thereby getting
better
performance :)
