Wifi Channels; Great Utility Tool

Allows you to scan wifi channels to find the best signals/latencies for your home network.

Thank you

iOS settings > apps > AirPort Utility > Toggle on "WiFi Scanner"

Thank you so much for this. Please, for the love of WiFi, please update this with a live signal graph. This is the only app in the app store that let's me see what channel to choose for my router (the channel least saturated by other routers). A live signal graph would be a godsend. How does this not just come with iOS?
