User guide

The SSID or Vendor filter begins with a “+” or “-” option. This will determine whether the
filter includes or excludes the following text entered. For example, if you do not want to see
any wireless networks named “MetaGeek”, select the - radio button and enter “MetaGeek” in
the SSID or Vendor field. Press enter to apply the filter. Chanalyzer will then show every
network that doesn’t have “MetaGeek” in the SSID or hardware field.
To filter by channels, click the arrow on the drop-down menu which will allow you to choose
between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. 2.4 GHz channels range from 1-14 and 5 GHz channels
from 36-165. “-” will filter the channels from a to b. For example, typing (1-6) will show
channels 1 through 6. Using a “,” will allow you to enter multiple single channels to view.
Typing (1, 4, 6, 9) will show only those channels. You can also use a combination of the two
operators as follows: (2-5, 7-10).
The remaining filter options will show either AdHoc or Infrastructure networks, or exclude
certain security settings of SSIDs.
To remove filters, click the x next to the box below.
