Checking WiFi speed?

[stockhausen]

Any recommendations for software to measure WiFi speed - also reliability and strengths if possible?

I am using BT WiFi (BT Fon as was) and Windows 7 Pro on a laptop.

It’s not really that simple. You generally need some proper hardware but have a look at Acrylic or Metageeks.

I use the Metageek equipment which was initially quite pricey but it paid for itself very quickly. The free copy of Inssider will tell you quite a bit about your WLAN environment but for heat maps you need a calibrated wireless card.

Thanks, I'll have a look at Acrylic WiFi Home.
I had no plans to go for hardware or pay for anything, it is just curiosity for when I am "on the road"
Thanks none-the-less.

Can't you just hover over your connection status ? See the speed. Am I missing something ^_^
