RE: 8 #Linux Commands To Find Out Wireless Network Speed, Signal Strength And Other Information.

in #linux • 7 years ago

I want to know if there exists any command line option or GUI tool (Ubuntu 11.10) so that I can measure the strength of wireless signal at a given location. I have a house where the wireless is not easily accessible at all corners I want to know at which corners or rooms the signal is weak.

    The answer is in the linked article:
    iwconfig wlan0 | grep -i --color signal

    To be sure of which the name of your network interface is (not necessarily wlan0) maybe first find it with the follow command:
    route | grep default | grep -o '.....$'
