Wireless signal strength bars?

midiman6 · 03-12-04, 07:02 PM

I have a wireless ambicom card on my ppc, and i want to see where i have good signal strength, and see which room has best reception,

anyway is there a prog that shows bars of the sinal strength?

Many CF card drivers have this but I assume the utility with the Ambicom card does not have any (I haven't used their drivers for a long time so I cannot remember). WiNc has one and I'm pretty sure it works with the Ambicom card but it costs $$$.

An alternative is to replace the Ambicom drivers with the Intersil reference drivers (do a search on this site and you'll find a link to the drivers and installation instructions). You may lose some of the other functions included with the Ambicom card (such as powersave mode if it has one).

The ambicom software has that feature built in. I had an ambicom card and used that feature quite often. Look through the menus. I know its there.

PocketWINc will do it for you but it costs.
