Nighthawk Mesh MK63 wireless signal strength at devices

I want to see the wireless strength at each device to best locate the satellites. The NH App has icons for this but they all indicate the same....1 dot. That is not possible as the distances vary, some close, some far. Tech support suggests just using the wifi locator on my laptop to look at signal strength as I walk around, fairly crude. Anybody know a way to do this?

    Is this a Netgear App or is there an App you would recommend for this use...could be great?

    Hi larry3706, 

     

    You may try using WiFi analytics app to accomplish this.

        Thanks for the tip; I found that Network Signal Info, on my phone, gave me very good representation of wifi strength as I moved around the house. The very good news is that the MK63 has excellent signal strength everywhere I have devices and on the deck and in the driveway.
