About WiFi's Frequency
Network Standard | Frequency Range | Bandwidth | MIMO Streams | Indoor Range | Outdoor Range |
802.11A | 5GHz | 20MHz | 1 | 115ft | 390ft |
802.11B | 2.4GHz | 20MHz | 1 | 125ft | 460ft |
802.11G | 2.4GHz | 20MHz | 1 | 125ft | 460ft |
802.11N | 2.4GHz | 20MHz/40MHz | 4 | 230ft | 820ft |
Now, I would like expect a question: How to find which WiFi frequencies are being used the most near by?
You should use commnad: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep Frequency | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
And you will get a result like this:
2 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
2 Frequency:2.417 GHz (Channel 2)
2 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
10 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
As an extra bit of useful data, you can see what frequencies your WiFi card supports using this command: iwlist wlan0 channel
Have a good release, guys!
