Tool similar to net-wireless/linssid showing AP overlap?

[spica]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a graphical tool similar to net-wireless/linssid — specifically one that can visually show how access points (APs) overlap or intersect each other in terms of channel usage. LinSSID seems abandoned since 2018 and is not in portage anymore.

Is there something available in Portage or as an overlay that provides this kind of functionality? Ideally it would:

• Show nearby APs
• Indicate signal strength
• Visualize channel usage (preferably in a graph)

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

wavemon can do that, kind of.
hit F3 to access scan window,
it shows you what APs are in the area, with signal strenght.
at the bottom, it shows you a top 3 of the most used (or crowded) channels.

No graph though , like the nice one available with openwrt for example.
