Randy,

Try SNMPmon.

What I would like is an app that apple removed that a friend has but is no longer available It was a great wifi 
stumbler that orvided received power and much much more.  Great not map out what is going on with your wifi.  All 
iPhone users should pition apple to let stumblers back in the app store.

There also appears to be a port of nmap available as well.

Tom
