I downloaded and ran net stumbler, but I don't know what I should be looking for. There was no help to decode how to use it. As far as I see the same wireless networks can be seen on my laptop, showing signal strengh. The only thing I don't see on the lappy is the channel. How else is netstumbler usefull?

Have you exhausted all the information available on the NetStumbler website?

I think so. Can't find what the values mean. Ie; SNR, signal, noise, Flags etc

Those are generic terms that the makers of NetStumbler assume you already know. SNR = signal to noise, signal is a waveform, etc.
Why did you decide to use NetStumbler? Are you trying to find unsecured networks (or anything else that is against the law)? The reason I ask is because usually when someone downloads a specialized program like NetStumbler, they usually know what it does and understands the basic terminology.
You can always try Googling for netstumbler. Here's the wiki entry I found using Google:

OK, I have 2 pc's (2 year old dell, 1 year old asus, laptops) 1 Mac book pro, new, using a wireless router, linksys wrt54gx(cable modem). within the last 2 weeks my signal from the wireless router drops off in certain spots in my house. never had that problem before and there have been NO changes in the house, except the new mac book pro. when a pc is powered up it gets a good signal but within 5 minutes it dies. if I bring the pc closer to the router the signal comes back. Linksys replaced the 2 year old router for free but that didn't help. I intend on adding an AP and finding a place on the other side of house where the problem lies. I have had contact with another forum member who has been of great help, but for some reason the signal is not strong enough to reach certain areas.
