2 Click Search for Wireless Devices.
A virtual map appears with a graphical representation of the
wireless devices that have been detected.
Search for Wireless Devices can also be started from the ConfigFree
Launcher.
For Wi-Fi
®
networks, the intensity of a signal is displayed in five
levels or “bands.” The signal from the connected access point is
displayed in the bands surrounding the computer icon at the center
of the map. The closer to the center, the stronger the connection.
Placing the pointer over the displayed “point of light” shows
detailed information about the wireless device.
The wireless device shown near the center of the map is not
necessarily near your notebook computer. If a wireless device
located a distance away also has a strong signal, it appears near the
center of the map as well.
The Search for Wireless Devices feature identifies if a device is
IEEE 802.11a, b, or g. It also includes an option to display hidden
access point availability.
