Wi-Fi Survey

Applies to the published v0.3.0-beta.1 release. Most survey captures remain local because they display nearby network identifiers. Two safe views appear below.

Open 2.4 GHz WIFI from Home. This surveys access points through the Tab5 wireless coprocessor; it is not an RTL-SDR spectrum analyzer.

Page What it shows
Overview Scan status, strongest observations and APs by channel
Channels Channel distribution and an AP-footprint overlap estimate
Devices Observed APs: SSID, BSSID, channel, RSSI, security and PHY
CSI Explicitly unavailable/experimental; no motion or presence sensing claimed
Settings Connectivity shortcut for Wi-Fi power, saved profiles and antenna selection

Use RESCAN for a new survey. Results belong to the completed scan, not continuous channel-occupancy measurements. Wi-Fi work can pause SDR reception while shared resources are used.

All five current screen captures are indexed in Screenshot Catalog. On the device, move among Overview, Channels, Devices, CSI and Settings using the bottom tabs. CSI explicitly says it is unavailable in the real survey; it is not a motion or presence feature.

First use

Open 2.4 GHz WIFI, press RESCAN, and wait for the scan to complete before reading Overview or Channels. A survey measures nearby access points through the Tab5 coprocessor; it is not a continuous spectrum measurement.

Screens on the Tab5

These live device views were captured on 29 September 2026 using PNG-capable source 897c60a, which is newer than the published release binary. The pages with observed SSIDs or BSSIDs are held locally.

Development and verification

PR #33: Wi-Fi analysis dashboard records the survey interface; PR #107: C6 link recovery records the later connection fix. The published release identifies the installed package. A merged PR or source test alone does not establish live reception on every setup. Screenshots from the later capture build are identified in Screenshot Catalog.
