Find Wireless Signal Strength in Windows

Today I have a quick little tip/command to find the signal strength of a given wireless network a computer is connected to.

For this to work you will need to be running Microsoft Windows and you will need access to the command prompt.

To test the current signal strength, open up a command prompt and run the following command:

netsh wlan show interface

Note: You may have to run the command prompt as Administrator depending on your system settings.

The stats will pop up and you will want to look at the bottom portion where it says signal:

                                     The signal field shows the wireless strength percentage


Quick little way to double check the connection other than looking at the network bar.
