Utility to find wireless networks?

[waylman]

There must be something better than the utility that is built in Windows XP....at least I hope so!

netstumbler.

or even better, use the client that goes with your card.

There's also kizmet. There might even be a windows version of it... only used it on linux platform.

NetStumbler is nice. It will give you a list of all networks in range, along with the channel they are on and the type of encryption they are using. The channel information is useful when deciding what channel to put your own router on.
