Does anyone know of any windows software that will show the signal strength of near by Bluetooth devices?
If you are on windows 7, then left click on the bluetooth icon, it will show you the active bluetooth connection, click on that and, that will show you the bluetooth signal strength.
Tried that but no luck. A left (or right) click provides a menu of options. None that will display signal strength. Tried this on both my desktop and laptop.
Thanks Antonio but unfortunately there is no signal strength indicator ![]()

Has anybody every got this code to work:
Function WiFiSignalStrength()
local oWMI, objWMI, oBios, oData
oWmi := CreateObject( "wbemScripting.SwbemLocator" )
objWMI := oWmi:ConnectServer()
oBios := objWMI:ExecQuery( "Select * From MSNdis_80211_ReceivedSignalStrength" )
for each oData in oBios
MsgInfo( oData:Ndis80211ReceivedSignalStrength )
next
return nil
If in understand this correctly it will report on each adapter in the network stack.
I never get anything other than zero.
I am hoping to place a WiFi Signal Strength Indicator on my app screen for a handheld app.
Thanks,
Jimmy,
Thanks for the response, I am not trying to get signal for Bluetooth, but I am trying for WiFi (802.11). Did you get that to work? I don't think I ever get into the "For Each" loop, there is no oData objects in the oBios collection. If you got something to work in FiveWin I would love to see the code.
Thanks,
Byron ...

This was working very fine for me.
