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

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.
