Xirrus Wi-Fi Monitor

If you are a Windows Vista user and use Wi-Fi, this will be one of the most useful Vista gadgets you can download. This utility will automatically display the signal strength, the SSID of the network you are connected to, the current IP address, and it will also show the network you are connected to and other nearby networks.

Those are just the basics - you can get a lot of other information. Click the Show Details link, and you'll see more details about the network that is connected and nearby networks. You will also see each network SSID whether it is encrypted, what type of encryption it is and the channel it uses, the MAC address, and other factors.
