iPhone and iPad users with iOS 7 and up, now have a way to view WiFi scan info (SSID, BSSID, RSSI, Channel) on devices with Apple's AirPort Utility app. Prior to this AirPort Utility update, only SSID and BSSID information was available on app store apps (non jailbreak apps).
Follow steps below to access to this new capability or download a PDF of this guide here.
