Thanx all for the response
If it was the only router / WiFi then it would have been easy but there are
multiple routers / WiFi access points AND a firewall router (this one is
sorted) but the others I have to  check and make sure there are no IP
conflicts, change the PSK and so on and so on.

I will look into Kismet, (know about wire shark), nmap, netstat...

I also found:
nagios - http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios
OCS - http://wiki.contribs.org/OCS_Inventory_Tools

I know these come into the SME server project but do any of you know about
these??

thanx
