A network consultant surveys a crowded facility using a tool that shows color-coded bands on various channels. Which capability in this scanner helps differentiate overlapping signals so the consultant can identify a better channel layout?
It deauthenticates each adjacent network to force a channel reassignment
It injects custom beacons to jam existing access points on specific frequencies
It automatically reconfigures router settings to pick new channels without human input
It generates a channel visualization layer that groups nearby broadcasts by their occupied frequencies
Wireless survey applications provide visual analysis of channels with color-coded signals that reflect current usage. This feature helps reveal where frequencies conflict and allows adjustments for reduced interference. Deauthentication and jamming focus on impacting other networks. Automatic reconfiguration also is not part of color-coded displays; such changes require manual planning and potential hardware modifications. Tools such as InSSIDer give clear insight into congested spots by separating overlapping signals for more effective adjustments.
