Feature Request: return signal strength for available networks

Open sheuschkel opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Feature Request:

Currently the ssid and the security information are presented to the user in the portal and over the '/networks' endpoint.

Please add also the signal strength for the given ssid as a percentage value from 0 - 100.

thx

I think this would also be useful - if we could display this information in the dropdown menu somehow when selecting the wifi network... It's an issue if you have a mesh network where you might see the same SSID 4 or 5 times trying to work out which SSID to select..

Fantastic idea. Considering Network Manager's failed attempt at roaming and painfully (why. why.) sticking to the weakest signal BSSID. The SSID dropdown box should show SSID variants (BSSID) -- if you want to omit the ugly mac address just call them 1, 2, 3, etc.
