    Hi All,

    I'm using Netstumbler to pin-point where is the best place to put my computer to get the best out of my wireless router.

    Is there any software to locate a computer connected to a wireless router/network in a similar fashion?
    (i.e. - the stronger the signal the closer the computer/ graphical mapper/ - or something similar)

    Thanks

    I'm not sure about a piece of software, but as far as I know, to pinpoint any radio signal you need to triangulate it.

    You can hook up a GPS reciever to your computer to plot where you picked up an access point (e.g. for war driving) with netstumbler.
