Wifi Channel Scanner Plugin
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2016 3:55 am
Spectrum Analyser (Wifi Scanner) Plugin - 1.2.0 (new gui builds only!)
You will require this until the language plugin is updated by Gargoyle:
http://lantisproject.com/gargoyle_plugi ... nglish-EN/
Will scan for wireless networks around you and graphically show you which channels are most congested. You can then choose to put your wifi network on a clear or less busy channel.
You can choose which band to scan, 2.4 or 5GHz.
The scale of the graph auto resizes the vertical axis (signal strength) so that the graph is always easy to read.
There is a legend at the bottom so that you can identify which network is which, and if you hover over the colour of the network, it will highlight it on the graph for you.
Please provide feedback/bug reports in this thread.

So you want to uninstall the plugin, but clicking uninstall in the GUI does nothing?
- 1. Navigate to /plugin_root/usr/lib/opkg/info/plugin-gargoyle-spectrum-analyser.list
every file listed in that file is related to the plugin and should be deleted. - 3. execute the post-removal script from the same folder
"sh /plugin_root/usr/lib/opkg/info/plugin-gargoyle-spectrum-analyser.postrm" - 4. remove all the files from /plugin_root/usr/lib/opkg/info related to plugin-gargoyle-spectrum-analyser
- 5. open the status file at /plugin_root/usr/lib/opkg and remove the entry for spectrum_analyser. If it is the only entry, save it as a blank file, do not delete it.
You should now no longer have the spectrum analyser plugin in the GUI, and if you check the plugin list it should be listed as uninstalled.
