Security mix

Encryption is an ordered scale, so the ramp runs light (weakest) to dark (strongest) rather than using unrelated hues. Unknown sits outside the ramp in gray, because it is missing information rather than a level. 1,034 (0.3%) are open or WEP — effectively unprotected.

Channel usage

Channels are an ordered category, so darker is larger — the ramp reinforces the column height rather than replacing it. The 2.4 GHz crowding around 1, 6 and 11 is the non-overlapping-channel convention doing its job.

Signal profile by band

Each band is scaled to its own peak, so the question this answers is "how does the shape differ" — not "which band has more networks", which the tiles above already say. 5 GHz falls off faster with distance, so its profile should lean toward the stronger end.

≥ −50−60−70−80−90< −902.4 GHz — ≥ −50: 2% of its peak2.4 GHz — −60: 10% of its peak2.4 GHz — −70: 57% of its peak2.4 GHz — −80: 100% of its peak2.4 GHz — −90: 60% of its peak2.4 GHz — < −90: 1% of its peak5 GHz — ≥ −50: 2% of its peak5 GHz — −60: 4% of its peak5 GHz — −70: 20% of its peak5 GHz — −80: 84% of its peak5 GHz — −90: 100% of its peak5 GHz — < −90: 4% of its peak
  • 2.4 GHz
  • 5 GHz

Axes are best-signal buckets in dBm; closer to the outside means a larger share of that band's networks sit in that bucket.

Ribbon thickness is the number of access points. Ribbons entering the encryption column are tinted by strength, so a colour can be followed downstream. Categories past the top few fold into Other rather than being dropped, so the widths still add up to the whole population.
