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.
