I am using iw command to scan available SSID and corresponding signal strength for the purpose of indoor localization. However, there are too many access points. I can try to trim down the list by filtering SSID. However, it is a post-processing, and it takes some time (1-2 seconds). Is there any way to utilize iw with specific SSID such that acquiring signal strength will be much faster? Or is there any library that I can use to write a customized scanner for specific SSID?



Thank you very much!

          I would recommend to use the Aircrack suite. From that suite you can use airodump-ng. This is an example:



          Let's filter by the SSID DummyWifi:



          airodump-ng --essid DummyWifi wlan0


          And wlan0 is the name of your wifi adapter.

          • Thank you for letting me know the suite. However, it seems that using the suite will disable connection with wifi. Is there any other way to monitor BSSID signal?

          • You can user another adapter or use one that supports monitor mode.
