Best WiFi Signal Strength Analyzer App for iPhone 6 or Mac
I see there is a signal strength analyzer for Android, but cannot find one in the Apple App store. I just want to see if it is worth getting the N300 WiFi Range Extender, since the Master BedRoom (on the far side of the apartment from the C3000 modem/wireless router) has pretty good but not great service. Thanks!

WNDR3700v5 Apple TimeMachine support
Hello, acording to official user's manual for WNDR3700v5 (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3700V5/WNDR3700v5_UM_12Jan2015.pdf – page 65) is possible use this router for backing up via Apple Time Machine (via Apple Filling Protocol – AFP). So I've bought it, but unfortunatelly I cannot connect using afp://readyshare (even router has not opened port 548 which is necessary for AFP (tested via system Network Utility app – portscan). I do all things which Netgear support advise me (re-flash firmware, hard reset, downgrade firmware) but nothing help. Finally I download available source code for WNDR3700v5 from official Netgear site, but there missing netatalk package for support AFP protocol! So why Netgear lie in their documentation about support Apple Time Machine in this router? Is possible enable AFP support in this router (unofficial firmware, compiling official FW from source code with AFP support – whatever)? Thank your for any advice
