Default wireless signal strength (more accurate reading than windows)

Hi

Is there a piece of software that I can use on WindowXP to walk around my
home and find strong signal areas for wireless routers? Like KissMac for
MacOS?


Regards

NETSTUMBLER is the one. Free. When it works, it's great!

Does not work with all cards/adapters.

I must say, I wish it would work consistently for me. It does not
seem to deal well with windows XP zero configuration or something,
though as I understand it, that's what it's designed for. It worked
for a few weeks for me, then got broken somehow. Sometimes it shows no
signal, other times no AP at all, then I turn on XP wireless again and
the AP comes right up.

On the "help" and the manual end, there is almost nothing. Wish
somebody would do a tutorial. Has a forum, (stumbler.net?) but it
appears to shun beginners.

Try it and see!
