Program for Mapping Wifi Network

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

I am looking for a program that I could use on my Mac or PC that will let me scan the signal strength in spots around the house. I basically want to create a heat map to find where the signal is weak in my house (planning on adding a signal extender).

iirc that was built into certain builds of DD-WRT.

I just downloaded it last night.. works ok if you have a floor plan already created.

I wonder if this will work in my VM or if I have to dual boot into 7.

Any Mac program that will do this?

I tried it in my VM, didn't work, can't make a separate wifi adapter for use by the VM. And BC won't work because i have 64-bit Windows 7 and I keep getting errors from the program when trying to install.

Try this out: http://meraki.com/tools/mapper/

Its browser/java based so it should work for you. It uses throughput test rather than signal strength which is a little more real-world testing.
