Doesn't most consumer wifi routers do that by now by default ?

I don't know if it hops when nobody is connected but I certainly found mine to hop while I'm connected. It'd hop around until it finds a channel where wifi doesn't work, and then stays there.

I had to force a channel..

Scanning for least congested freq is very common, but it only performed right before upping of AP iface and no else. So sweeping the band with AP is very impractical.

some of the higher end routers have an extra radio specifically for scanning. Ie: see Cisco

This thing will scan channels, as well as perform security operations.
