Nowadays internet connection has become a necessity. If Wi-Fi is an essential part of your work, it is important to check whether the signal strength is sufficient to ensure that you can work normally without encountering any major problems.
In Windows 10, there are several different ways to check the signal strength of a Wi-Fi connection. In this method, we will use a combination of Windows PowerShell and the built-in “netsh” command, which provides more accurate information than other commands. This is the same step-by-step guide.
Use PowerShell to find Wi-Fi signal strength:
Step 1: Open the Windows PowerShell on your Windows 10 computer. For this, click on the Start menu and search for “Windows Powershell.” Now, from the search results, click on the app.
Step 2: In PowerShell, enter the following command:(netsh wlan show interfaces) -Match ‘^\s+Signal’ -Replace ‘^\s+Signal\s+:\s+’,”
Step 3: It will now show you a single line output. The content there shows the current Wi-Fi signal strength in the percentage form. As you know, the higher the number, the better the signal quality.
Step 4: You can also get more information about the network by running the following command:netsh wlan show interfaces.
If the Wi-Fi signal strength is weak, you can move the router closer to the device and make sure that there is no hard object (such as a wall) between the router and the device to get a better signal.
