Option-Click AirPort Menu for Network Details

If you hold down the Option key while clicking the AirPort menu in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, you'll see not just the names of nearby Wi-Fi networks, but additional details about the selected network. Details include the MAC address of the network, the channel used by the base station, the signal strength (a negative number; the closer to zero it is, the stronger the signal), and the transmit rate in megabits per second showing actual network throughput. If you hover the cursor over the name of a network to which you're not connected, a little yellow pop-up shows the signal strength and type of encryption.

 
 

TidBITS Discussions!

Send Article to a Friend

TidBITS Discussions! -- Feedback on articles continues unabated, which is great because we at TidBITS benefit from the ideas, stories, and suggestions. However, it's not so great in the sense that I'm becoming overloaded and nobody else gets to read the discussions. We would all be better served if much of the thought generated by TidBITS went to discussion groups, rather than to only me. That way more people can read ideas and respond to them, creating healthy discussion. As such, I encourage you to send letters to discussion areas I frequent, since then I will possibly reply to and use your messages, but others can benefit as well.

The best places to continue discussion of issues raised in TidBITS include: the Info-Mac digest, and its mirror on Usenet, comp.sys.mac.digest; the TidBITS section on CompuServe; the MacWEEK and MacUser forums on ZiffNet/Mac (especially appropriate if the topic has also been raised in either of those magazines); the TidBITS Announcements folder in the Macintosh Hardware Forum on America Online; and the mac.hack/tidbits area on BIX. Thanks for thinking about our articles!
