Software recommendation to see signal strength of wifi

[Macmon]

Is there any 3rd party software that monitors the signal strength of wifi while using the ibook with an APE card?

Thanks

Hi Macmon,

You have several options to choose from:

Airport Management Utility
AP Grapher
KisMAC
MacStumbler

Good luck! ;-)

I'm not sure if it has everything that you need but have you checked out iStumbler?

I believe you can download it at Apple.com. And it's freeware, if I'm not mistaken.

Hope this helps.

I personally use Macstumbler. Seems to be fairly accurate.

iStumbler may also be sourced from versiontracker. There's even a GPS plug-in available for it.

thanks guys.

Is the macstumbler the same as istumbler?

[Arel]

They're two different apps, MACMON. Since they're both freeware, you have a free hand to check them out & see which best serves your purpose.

Good luck!

Just got myself a USB GPS receiver. (ordered it from rayming.com) I'm going to go wardriving later today and plot out the networks on a map! woohoo!

I'll show it to you @ Chili's later today.

Can't wait! See you in a bit, DAN!

Just curious is the Airport Mx utility made by apple developers?
I like its graph but not sure if it is accurate?
