Feature or improvement you want

Additional view in the Settings -> Advanced panel. Maybe even a chart
The view would operate on incoming packets and display them in a table or even a chart

RelayID | SNR | RRSI | Last seen (in seconds)
0x68 | -6 | 112 | 32

The data sources would be packets, in particular the relayID field and signal strength data. This will allow you to see the strength of incoming packets from your neighbors

Why should this be added?

When installing nodes, especially with antennas, the current methods of checking the connection quality are cumbersome - they require the use of traceroute.
In this solution, you can poll traffic when setting up nodes, and only send a traceroute for confirmation.
I invite you to express your opinion about the idea.

While better tool(s) for sniffing, packet capture, and analysis of the RF network would absolutely be useful, the advanced technical nature of these is fundamentally different from the main meshtastic app of today; most meshtastic users seem to be want it to go in a simpler direction. It seems wiser (less future requests) to spin this up as a separate "wireshark"-type app or management suite.
