|    Signal strength of PC wi-fi antenna at r    |
|    10 Jun 21 13:58:56    |
      From: youkidding@yahoo.com              In a normal house setup the wi-fi router acts as the access point       and the antenna on the laptop or desktop picks up the access point.              If I sit at the laptop or PC (far from the wi-fi router) I can use an app on       the phone to pick up the signal strength of that wi-fi router access point.              But how do I pick up the signal the other way around?              If I sit at the router (far from the laptop or desktop) when I open the app       to tell me signal strength, it only tells me the signal strength of the       wi-fi access point.              It doesn't tell me the signal strength arriving at the router which came out       of the antenna on the laptop or desktop (far away).              How do I measure THAT signal strength?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
