Glances displays the Wifi hotspots' name and signal quality.
|

|
|
|
If Glances is ran as root, then all the available hotspots are displayed.

In the configuration file, you can define signal quality thresholds.
|
|
|
|
|
"Poor" quality is between -100 and -85dBm, "Good" quality between -85
|
|
|
|
|
and -60dBm, and "Excellent" between -60 and -40dBm.

It's also possible to disable the scan on a specific interface from the
|
2016-10-21 20:06:02 +00:00
|
|
|
configuration file (``[wifi]`` section). For example, if you want to
|
|
|
|
|
hide the loopback interface (lo) and all the virtual docker interfaces:
|
