Hello,

I just installed netspot on my macbook pro at home.

When looking at the list of WIFI networks, I can see many instances of my network. there are 3-4 lines with the same SSID. Each have a different BSSID, and their “Last Seen” value keeps updating.

My network hardware is setup as folow:

* Airport extreme as the network creator. The main network is NET-1, and the guest network is activated with NET-2.
* An airport express is setup to extend that NET-1 network.

When I look at the list, I can see 3 or 4 lines with NET-1, each with different Levels result.

Why is that?

Here are some samples from each of the lines that are displayed.
There is only one of each network with channel 6, and the rest all have channel 149.

Hi Claude, seems like NetSpot shows exactly the config of your nets: 2 nets NET-1 from the first hardware (2.4 and 5 GHz on 6th and 149th channels) and 2 nets from the second hardware similarly on 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
