WiFi Power Measurement Utility
(1/1)
Gadget:
Hey Forum,
There's a post on this forum indicating a user has an Atheros client installed that allows an actual power measurement (in milliwatts) of the signal from a router. That seems preferable to the more common 'gauge' showing signal strength by bar or pie graphs as a simple percentage. Unfortunately the Atheros utility doesn't work with my Intel wi-fi card.
Is there a downloadable utility available (other than the afore mentioned Atheros) that shows the broadcast signal strength as a true power measurement? If so what's it called and where's it available for download?
Thanks :)

I've used both NetStumbler and inSSIDer. I like inSSIDer better myself.

Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector is another "good" GUI tool:
