Explanation

A Wi-Fi analyzer scans the wireless spectrum to display all nearby access points, the channels they are using, signal strength, and congestion levels. This allows a technician to identify which channels are overcrowded and select the least congested one to reduce latency. Netstat (B) displays active network connections and statistics on a local machine. Net use (C) is a Windows command for mapping network drives and shared resources. Traceroute (D) traces the path packets take to a destination host. A network tap (E) passively captures wired network traffic for analysis. None of these alternatives provide channel-level wireless spectrum visibility.
