I read the original post now (in German, and as I am German, no problem).
In his case I think "kismet" is a good start. So he can see, if there are 
other AP on the same frequency. I also suggest "wavemon", which shows all AP 
and its strenth.

If the neighbour is sending weired pckages (maybe with aireplay-ng, who 
knows), then wireshark or tshark is working fine for it. Also you have then 
evidence for his doings, which is illegal (here in Germany). 

Maybe also the package "horst" is also helpful, which is designed for excactly 
these issues: check your traffic. (I have never used it for now).

Hope this helps

Best regards

That would be a good catch in a neighborhood feud which normally is
rather faught by unnecessary lawn mowing, loud music, stinking garbage
cans, or obscene garden gnomes. (The use of song loving roosters is
widely banned.)

I rather imagined a radio noise generator like

It's complex at best. While tshark, wireshark or plain tcpdump can be
used for this purpose, it would take a non-trivial post-processing to
show signal quality/junk ratio grouped by APs.

An invocation of 'airmon-ng wlan0' is much simpler IMO.


Of course, if neighbor in question actually managed to connect to OP's
APs, and wreaking havoc from inside the OP's LAN - then wireshark would
be priceless.

I believe tshark (and wireshark of course) is also be capable of showing bad 
or corrupted traffic. You can set filters, i.e. to filter out rejects and 
similar, 
and if they are abnormal high, you know, something is bad.

Just an idea...

Followup. Using aireplay-ng for the purpose of lowering signal quality
for neighbor WiFi can be subject to criminal penalties and therefore is
not recommended.

airodump-ng from aircrack-ng will solve this with ease.
kismet will too.

Just observe which WiFi channels are most crowded and switch own
Access Point (s) to a least crowded one.

Repeat as needed.

Hi,

  debian-user-ger...@lists.debian.org


Just in case somebody knows a program for WLAN quality surveillance:

The OP suspects that his neighbor after annoying the dogs has now
taken measures to hamper the WLAN. The question is whether there are
programs which can diagnose WLAN quality problems and identify potential
causes.


Have a nice day :)
