I am really looking at the output from wireless networked near my router.
I used the iwlist command on a wireless linux computer on my network.
I'm searching for a good description of the following data:

Please throw me a bone.

# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep Channel
                    Channel:149
                    Channel:1
                    Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
                    Channel:11
                    Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
                    Channel:11
                    Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
                    Channel:6
                    Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep Quality
                    Quality=35/70  Signal level=-75 dBm 
                    Quality=36/70  Signal level=-74 dBm 
                    Quality=46/70  Signal level=-64 dBm 
                    Quality=28/70  Signal level=-82 dBm
