    Wireless Stats (for connected AP)

    Hi,

    Hope you all can find this usefull (not Vista compatible). Zip only contains source, no compiled .EXE.

    No error handling as yet.

    Need to be connected to a wireless network for stats (as there is no error handling yet).

    All stats are retreived from WMI.

    Stats received include:
    Wireless Adapter name,
    Signal Strength in DB,
    Signal Strength as a bar (Excellent, Good, Poor, etc),
    Signal Strength as a percentage (to use a progress bar),
    Current connected SSID,
    MAC of AP,
    Frequency of AP,
    Channel of AP,
    Connection Status,
    Speed (in Mbps),
    Network type.

    (Still in the process of adding listbox at bottom showing available wireless networks, noticed that MsNdis_80211_BssiList does not work because that uses old structures where the SSID was fixed length, now there are new structs where the SSID is variable length, that is why the first AP info shows but all others are garbage when using BssiList call). See here regarding getting list of available networks,
