Is there a tool like wifi analyzer for ubuntu?
Network manager command line interface nmcli
nmcli d wifi
This is an output of command:
* SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY

Silviq Infra 10 54 Mbit/s 4 ____ WPA2
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
1 ▂___ 17 Nina
2 ____ 0 Yankovi
2 ▂___ 24 Mitio Paynera
3 ____ 4 JORODLINK
4 ▂▄▆_ 70 151022
4 ▂▄▆_ 70 mary
5 ▂___ 7 Hristo
6 ____ 0 HomeS2000
6 ▂___ 27 Don Ceci
6 ____ 4 malevi
6 ____ 4 milcho.uzunov
7 ____ 4 alex1
10 ▂___ 10 Filka
10 ▂___ 7 Silviq
11 ▂___ 10 Mihaylov
11 ▂▄__ 34 epg72
11 ____ 4 Valia
11 ▂___ 7 epg72
40 ▂▄▆_ 60 mary5
40 ▂▄▆_ 67 151022
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
).
Screenshot from Wavemon's Github (GPLv3).
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
