[QUOTE="cramar, post: 385095, member: 28897"] Thanks, Pulse-8. The link has a few interesting bits of information. However, I am amazed at the lack of meaning information and status information available for the Mac and AirPort Extreme. I installed a new Widget called AirTrafficControl 2.0 beta and it has some useful information. Also I found an OS-X utiltiy on my system called "Internet Connect" which has an AirPort Signal Level indicator with 15 bars. This is the most useful information so far, but I want something smaller possibly on the Menu bar. The Mac AirPort indicator on the menu bar is next to useless. Did some intersting range tests with the signal level indicator, but will post on new thread. I still haven't found any indication that I have 802.11n speed enabled. What I want is some widget or indicator always running that tells the signal strength, speeds, freq., plus other information. Basically the current indicators tell me what I already know--that I am connected to my named network and it has WPA encryption. I think I will try the Apple support forums. I also want to know if you can control the broadcast signal strength. [/QUOTE]
