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.
Thanks!
It’s not free but it’s a damn good app and will do what you want and so much more. The part I like the most is that it doesn’t just show signal strength but it also shows noise and SNR. Super helpful.

This looks like a great fit and $20 is very reasonable. Thanks!
