WiFi SiStr - Wi-Fi Signal Strength always visible

review by ClifNotes, Sept 2006, permalink

Here's a nice little meter bar you can display on your laptop when it's connected to wifi. I tried it out very quickly and it's small, clean, and easy to use. Be sure to right click on the bar to bring up it's settings if you don't want it to auto-run. Once in the settings you can play around with lots of other settings that change the way it looks and behaves.

Note: This application has the following minimum software requirement:

.NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable +SP1 (Automatically included in XP updates and new XP releases)

IMPORTANT: If you have .NET Framework 2 installed but not v1.1: - You must first remove v2 in order to install v1.1 and then reinstall v2
thanks to EdgarJ for catching the .NET requirement

Quote from the website
WiFi SiStr is a small and simple utility that allows you to keep an eye on you wireless connection Signal Strength. Of course, you don’t need to keep it always active but in some cases it might be interesting to have an idea of the signal strength of the connection.

Why a so simple and un-detailed tool?
The reason is because Windows ® already offers the possibility to have detailed status of the connection, speed, access points… but I missed a small and easy to use tool that displays only the signal strength…

Why so many display options for a so small tool?
Because I like software that is nice to see even if it is small and simple, and even if it doesn’t work better than another one, that gives me more pleasure to use it, I suppose you are like me.
