Re: "Frequency" column.

I made a few updates in v10.8.2 which allows vistumbler add support for 802.11ad/ax/be networks and add support for wpa3/owe authentication. For the original question on this thread about auditing frequency, it may be possible to add it, but I think more changes would have to be made to the NativeWi...

Re: "Frequency" column.

Re: The website uploader has a number of issues

Does the computer go to sleep when it sits for a while? My guess it would loose connection to the gps if it did, but then think it was still connected.

Also, if i remember correctly... I though gps was more accurate when moving. when sitting still it tends to wander I thought.
