This article mainly introduces how to determine the Wi-Fi signal strength on Windows 10, which is very detailed and has a certain reference value. Interested friends must read it!

On Win10, when you use a Wi-Fi adapter to connect a computer to a home or office network and to an Internet, the quality of the signal determines the overall performance of the connection. This is partly because Wi-Fi technology uses radio waves to connect devices to wireless access points, and like other radio signals, it has a limited range and has problems with interference and passing through solid objects, such as walls.

Knowing the signal strength of a Wi-Fi connection on a device can help determine that a slow connection to the network or Internet is a signal problem, not an Internet service provider (ISP) or wireless access point problem.

Although you can use many third-party tools, windows 10 includes several ways to use setup applications, control panels, taskbars, command prompts and even PowerShell to check the signal strength of wireless connections.

In this Win10 guide, you will learn five ways to determine the signal strength of an Wi-Fi connection.

How to use the taskbar to check Wi-Fi signal strength

To determine the signal strength of the Wi-Fi connection on the Win10, use the following steps:

-Click the network icon in the taskbar.

See the wireless icon next to the network. (the greater the number of solid lines, the stronger the signal.)

A bar represents a weak signal, two bars represent acceptable signals, and three and four bars represent the best signal you can get.

How to use settings to check Wi-Fi signal strength

To tell the wireless signal strength using the Settings application, perform the following steps:

-- Open the settings.

-- Click Network and Internet.

-- Click status.

Under the Network status section, the wireless icon indicates the current signal strength. (the greater the number of solid lines, the stronger the signal.)

Alternatively, you can check the signal strength from the Wi-Fi setup page by following these steps:

-- Open the settings.

-Click WLAN.

Under the "Wi-Fi" section, the signal strength will be displayed on the wireless icon. The more solid lines, the better the signal.)

After completing these steps, you will have a better understanding of the wireless connection quality of the access point.

How to use the Control Panel to check Wi-Fi signal strength

To find out the signal quality of the wireless connection using the control panel, perform the following steps:

-- Open the control panel.

-- Click Network and Internet.

-- Click Network and sharing Center.

Under the View active Network section, the wireless icon next to Connect will indicate the signal quality.

-- (optional) Click the connection name to check the signal quality as well as speed, SSID and other information.

After completing these steps, you will understand the current quality of the Wi-Fi connection.
