Sometimes you want to know how is the strength of WiFi signal. It is very useful when you are in a hotel, or you want to diagnose problems with WiFi.
In order to check WiFi signal strength in Ubuntu type in terminal:
watch -n 1 "awk 'NR==3 {print "WiFi Signal Strength = " $3 "00 %"}''' /proc/net/wireless"
Thank you very much. NOW maybe I’ll find out what is going on.

No problem. If you have problem with WiFi you should check also the channels of your WiFi network (especially channel width). Maybe your neighbour use the same channel… All the best!

For newer Wlan adapers and Wifi-routers, you could best set your Wifi-router to the 5MHz band, instead of 2,5MHz. Also it is better to change the standard 20MHz carrier to the 40MHz carrier signal-width.
Very usefull tool, this measuretool for signalstrengt!
God Bless
ps: I only know the European standards. Wifi has in EU 13 channels and in the USA 14 channels!
Sorry, I didn’t see your comment… That’s why I approved it now.
