Thank you all for the great suggestions.  Some I knew about but others new to 
me.  Will investigate and suggest something for my team.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Simple Wireless Tools

I am looking for some type of simple wireless tool for support staff to use to 
simply check Wi-Fi signal in a particular area.

Something that could easily limit the view to our corporate SSID.

Read out the Rx signal strength and maybe S/N reading.

Hopefully the AP name. (Cisco environment)

Channel number/ability to limit between 2.4 and 5Ghz.

Hoping form something free and easy to use without having to filter down each 
time as there are many people in the support area but not so skilled in 
interpreting wireless information.

I already use Air Magnet and Planner and have some of the WiSpy Spectrum 
Analyzers and are great for me.  Something  to get a little more information 
from the "I have 2 bars" people.

Thanks.
