I’m a pretty competent home networker who has volunteered to help a friend figure out some persistent networking problems. I think there may be an issue of signal loss due to the positioning of the router, and I want to be able to demonstrate that with data.
Does anyone know of a network surveying tool that would display, at a minimum, signal strength at various sample points? Ideally I’d like to be able to use this on iOS, but I can also use it on MacOS. I’m very comfortable with the command line if there are tools you would suggest using there.
I haven’t found a great survey tool for iOS since my phone was jailbroken back in the day. Now adays I use Acrylic WiFi on windows, but they may have a Mac version.
There’s also airport utility on iOS, but it really can only give you basic RSSI per SSID, which in many cases is enough.
