How to get Wifi Channel of the networks around you using Windows 7 without a third party software just command prompt

I had an issue were I needed to know what channel the wireless networks around me were using so I can change it to one that is less active witch will increase your wireless range and speed.

The quickest way to do this with out using any third party software is to run the following command right form your command prompt.

1. from the Start menu in the search type > CMD
2. when the command prompt loads up type  > netsh wlan show network mode=bssid

You will get all the following information about the wireless networks around you:


example:

SSID X : NAMEWIFI
    Network type            : Infrastructure
    Authentication          : WPA2-Personal
    Encryption              : CCMP
    BSSID 1                 : XX:XX:XX:XX
         Signal             : 80%
         Radio type         : 802.11n
         Channel            : 6
         Basic rates (Mbps) : 1 2 5.5 11
         Other rates (Mbps) : 6 9 12 18 24 36 48 54


TIP: You can also save the file to a location by using the following command instead:

> netsh wlan show network mode=bssid > c:\test.txt

upper-right hand corner, I find this irritating and was hoping I could remove
the check boxes from the icons.

- Check mark boxes next to desktop icons
