wireless signal strength

01-31-2009, 04:36 PM

Is there a tool to quantify the strength of the wireless signal of my home
network at different places in house?

The visual info in the guidance tray icon doesn't seem to change even if I
move the laptop right next to the router.

When I point to the wireless connection icon it gives the signal
strength. This changes when I take my computer into another room.

If you try looking on one of the geek toy sites, I remember seeing a tee
shirt with a wireless signal meter on the chest that lights up. It was
supposed to be a novelty for finding wireless signals when you're out
and about.
