Like the shadowy man said, the Nirsoft suite has a free information viewer, 
a history viewer, and a network watcher on the Windows platform.

allows you to perform basic site surveys and visualize your WiFi network.

inSSIDer: A well-regarded tool, often used by professionals, for scanning 
and analyzing WiFi networks. While it might be more geared towards business

WiFi Analyzer (Microsoft Store app): A free and straightforward app 
available on the Microsoft Store that visualizes your WiFi network and 
helps identify the best channels. It's good for basic home use.
