[QUOTE="Nancy Withrow, post: 1839010, member: 76230"] KRS - When I turn wifi on at my iMac, I do see options in "Windows" on the toolbar, but there is no way to check wifi signal on my iPad that I'm aware of (other than observing the number of curved "bars"). pigoo3 Administrator -I, too, live in a 100+ year-old-house and my modem & router are in my finished basement.
