Here are a couple of free utilities that have greatly improved my wireless LAN experience:
Network Magic
formatting link
is a graphical depiction of your LAN (wired and wireless portions). It shows you all the devices that hook into your router, whether they are online or not, whether they are secure or not, etc. It will even log intruders on your network, capturing their device names and MAC addresses.Speedmeter Pro
formatting link
is a graphical display of traffic on your network, separately displaying and logging the flows- your router to/from the internet, and
- workstations to/from the router.
I hope you find them as useful as I do!
