AirPort Monitor Utility allows you to view information about the Apple AirPort Base Station. It uses SNMP to retrieve base station data and then displays it in well organized tables providing easy access to detailed information.
Features include:
Basic AirPort information
AirPort uptime
Detailed interface information
Routing table view
Wireless connections
Signal strength to each connected client
DHCP lease information
Detailed protocol information
Multiple AirPort Base Station
What's New
Version 1.1.5: Added AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet support.
Added AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n support.
Added Time Capsule (500 GB and 1 TB) support.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS 10.4.1 or later, AirPort Base Station.
I found AirPort Monitor Utility 1.1.3 to be extremely useful in my work environment, which is a K12 school with a few dozen airport extremes.
The only huge problem I have is that since going through two Macbooks (1 hardware failure and 1 upgrade to core 2 duo) my license for the software is no longer valid. After trying for many months to get in contact with the developer/author I have given up.
Bottom line: I paid for software and am now unable to use this software I paid for which is extremely frustrating.
Ah, but you did use it before, so your statement is self-contradictory.

It would be useful if it could watch my baby monitor. It keeps shutting off for no reason. Why can't developers use their imaginations more and make things useful? As I woman I prefer software that is not "just for the men".
I would be happy to help you with any problems you are having. Please email me (support@trulycertifiable.com) with the following information:
OS version
AirPort model and firmware version
Do you have the BSD subsystem installed? Are you running Panther? Is the baby monitor networked?
Regardless of the quality of software, please don't degrade your self and other women by statements like that. We are all equals, but some people know more about computers and software then others. Regardless of sex, creed, ethnic background and religion. Many women work with these issues and some of them does it better then any men, likewise some of us men don't understand computers at all. I, my self, are struggling at times. But to overcome my shortcommings, I read, ask questions, look for info. on the net and I'm slowly getting better at it. If I can do it, so can you. Don't give up, keep at it.

Well, the wait is over! If you have a Apple AirPort Extreme this is the must have tool to see just what is going on under the chrome Apple of the AirPort Extreme.
Just put in your AirPort internal IP address and the password. Hit connect and in a moment you have some wonderful insight as to what is happening in that mystery box.
The tool uses SNMP v2c. It walks the MIB and gathers information about the AirPort and displays it in a manner that is clear.
You get information about the system, interfaces and routing tables. You also get to see what is on the wireless side and the protocols! This is too cool!
A really nice feature is seeing the signal strength for each wireless connection. This allowed me to tune the location of my basestation and some of the settings.
The only thing that needs work is the Help. While it has lots of information, more detail is required on using the tool.
Overall I give this a full 5, Best. The fact that I just got it and have already reaped major benefits from it just in tuning the wireless is huge.

The developer forces you to connect to a website before it will run?! What a joke.

Great utility and worth the cash, just be wary if you frequently change hardware.
