Hi all,

Is there a way to get the Signal Strenghts of the access points around your laptop in windows vista.
In XP it can be done talking to WMI, but this doesn't work in vista.

regards

If it doesn't work in Vista it means that the "Wireless Network Interface" driver doesn't expose this to WMI, contact your system vendor to see whether such driver is available.
