Product Description:

AP Grapher is a freeware program for Mac OS X which searches for nearby wireless (i.e., WiFi, Airport) access points and graphs the signal strength as a function of time for the base station you are currently connected to. Although the program has a stumbler like mode, its not a true a stumbler in the classic sense since it only finds visible networks.

AP Grapher is intended to help you find the best access point to connect to and optimally position your base station and or computer to achieve the best possible signal strength.

I like the graph. Hate the constant sound it makes like being in a submarine. Drives me crazy.

Beth.
PS I wonder if the Widget Wireless Grapher has sound.

This is a very easy to use app that shows airports signal strength perfectly and simply. I love it when I'm looking around for a wireless network and am trying to determine whether the network I'm connected to has enough strength to be reliable.
This app is free, which is a plus too. AND it works perfectly on my 10.4.7 powerbook even though it has not been updated for a while. Bravo!
