Version: WIFI Signal Strength 1
"Basic bar meter of signal strength"
Pros: Shows signal strength bar and percent of full strength, of currently connected WiFi source. Quickly found that moving a repeater 15 feet would give it twice the signal (12% to 25-27%).
Cons: I started it three times, thinking nothing happened, before noticing the 152x47 pixel gray box hovering over a gray part of my browser. (No installation, just click to start)

Version: WIFI Signal Strength 1
Pros: Worked perfectly. Opened file and it showed signal strength. Tried a few different wifi sources in the area to find the best connection and it updated fast. Moved antenna around and found best placement. Updated quickly.
Cons: Wish I could re-size the window or change how it looks in some way as it doesn't match my theme. That's just being nit picky though. Not sure why everyone else had so many problems.
Summary: Opened file and it immediately did what it claimed with no configuration. Saved me a ton of time having to keep testing speeds and trying different connections.

Version: WIFI Signal Strength 1
Pros: Does what it's supposed to do & worked fine 1st time. I'm "borrowing" unknown neighbor's wi-fi, so every inch computer is moved makes difference. At perfect angle this li'l utility says I get ca. 13%, when the windows conxtion icon says "No signal"
Cons: What's not to like?
Summary: It gives a very accurate and frequently updated display of signal strength, much better than the five bars I had to deal with before. I would have given it 5 stars except "Spectacular" seems a bit over the top for such a simple 15 kb utility.
