What WiFi adapter are you using?

[Oreotjes]

Fujitsu Siemens Computers WLAN 802.11b/g ( SiS 163u) card from my laptop.
you mean i need a extern wi-fi adapter to check?

What operating system are you using?

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 do this:

Press Start and click Run. (Or hold the Windows key and press R)
Type in "cmd" and press enter.
Enter "netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid" (without quotes)

It should return something like this:

Interface name : Wireless Network Connection
There are 1 networks currently visible.

SSID 1 : fuji-2
    Network type            : Infrastructure
    Authentication          : WPA2-Personal
    Encryption              : CCMP

         Basic rates (Mbps) : 1 2 5.5 6 11 12 24
         Other rates (Mbps) : 9 18 36 48 54

(I starred out the last 3 sections of the mac addresses)

Do the channels show up as 0 from this?

[Oreotjes]

yeah, all the networks shows up with channel 0 with that too

[Tyler]

InSSIDer gets it's information from Windows' WLAN stack, so if it's showing up as channel 0 there, inSSIDer will show channel 0 also.

Are the drivers for the WiFi adapter fully updated?
The only other thing I can think of is to get a new WiFi adapter.

[Oreotjes]

Yeah, they are updated to the latest driver Fujitsu Siemens has.
okay.

thanks Tyler, for the solution and help

[Tyler]

Not a problem, glad to help.
