Make channel graph zoomable,or a setting to go back to tabbed mode

Open joczo1337 opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Just updated to the latest release via Play store. Everything works great,but at the channel graph view,on 5GHz and 6GHz now there are no channel groups as before(36-64,100-144,etc) just the whole band. It is great,but it makes 20MHz and 40MHz APs very hard to identify,as they became too small on a phone. Please make the channel graph section zoomable,or a setting attribute to go back to channel groups if needed.

Same issue for me, would really appreciate the ability to get the tabs back.

I support it. Ears are very useful. Please put them back. Thank you.

When utilizing wider bandwidths such as 160 MHz or 320 MHz (as specified in the 802.11ax and 802.11be standards), channel overlap may occur between UNII bands across the 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrums. Visualizing channel allocation in a unified graph spanning multiple UNII bands helps reveal these overlaps more clearly. Reference

Will investigate feasibility of adding zoom option.

Sorry for not using the required form. Yes,the overlap between tabs are understandable,and is future proof,as more and more 160MHz and even 320MHz APs will go on air. But on the other hand,in heavily urban areas with many APs where smaller bandwith channels are required due to interference,or country side APs with relatively slow(100mbit or less) internet connections,where even 80MHz channels are overkill,there are still many many 20-40MHz ones which can be only a couple pixels wide on some phones with the current graph. Also,on 6GHz in EU,we can only go up to 6425MHz,so the bigger portion will be completely empty and unusable on the graph. Thank for a future solution!
