Is there a tool like wifi analyzer for ubuntu?

Network manager command line interface nmcli

nmcli d wifi

This is an output of command:

But you can use:

nmcli -f "CHAN,BARS,SIGNAL,SSID" d wifi list ifname wlx10feed21ae1d  | sort -n

and output will be sorted by channel:

CHAN  BARS  SIGNAL  SSID

2     ____  0       Yankovi

For continues scan you can combine with command "watch":

watch  "nmcli -f "CHAN,BARS,SIGNAL,SSID" d wifi list ifname wlx10feed21ae1d  | sort -n"

You could use Wavemon. It's available in the Software Center, (or via apt, sudo apt-get install wavemon).

Once you have installed wavemon, open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type wavemon.


You could use linssid which offers a nice easy to use GUI for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/linssid-wifi-scanner-for-ubuntu-linux-mint/

To install linssid in Ubuntu 16.04 and later type:

sudo apt install linssid
