Any programs that show wireless strength in the system tray?

[aphex]

I uninstalled IBM Access Connections to improve stability w/ my wireless connection and end the corruption with the latest driver release...

Anyway, that program used to show the strength of the wireless connection in the system tray... Any other apps that can do this?

Does XP do this by default? I thought it did? Maybe you dont have the right box checked under properties?

It shows activity, but only strength when you place your mouse over it....

I miss the Cell Phone line meter access connections used to have

D-link's AirPlus utility does this, but that does not help you.

Thanks for the non-help though

Windows by it self does not provide signal strength information since this is Not a universal measure (The computer utilities can not really measure the Strength of the signal) it actually more a concoction of the manufactures given their experience with their hardware.

Want to know more: Measuring Signal Strength.

As a result it is up to the manufacturer to provide such utility some do many do not.

And when they do provide such a Utility it is more of a Gimmick rather then a Technical tool. It shows the actual 802.11x signal + Phone + Microwaves + Brain emissions (j/k), in other words they give a visual representation of all the 2.4GHz in the atmosphere around them.

The real measure of Wireless signal capacity is Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), a measure that takes into consideration the relevant Signal adjusted to the Noise Level. To measure SNR you need a special Hardware it is not a matter of software utility.

Dosent Network stumbler show SnR?
