I was at a friend's house and had difficulty to connect to his wireless network. A quick search brought me to http://www.nutsaboutnets.com/ , creator of various WiFi analyzing software. Specifically NetSurveyor is useful to list out all available Wireless networks, their settings as well as channels.
