AP Grapher - A simple AirPort signal strength meter
Authored by: cynikal on Mar 10, '04 12:49:35PM

Correct me if i'm wrong but, doesn't the Internet Connect.app have a signal meter that has about 10 or so bars? that's better than the 4 bar indicator.. And if you want to see what else may be around you in terms of 802.11b, check out KisMAC (search on versiontracker/macupdate).

But nothing ever seems to help in determining the source of a wireless signal (like i want to know whch one of my neighbors (i live in an apartment building) has an open wireless access point so i can tell em about it), since the signal seems to bounce around and stuff.
