Does anyone know of a small meter that could be left open on a SAC Remote to indicate signal strength of the WiFi signal? As you roam a venue, it would be helpful to know if you're in danger of losing your WiFi connection.

I found http://download.cnet.com/WIFI-Signal...-10663562.html on Google. I don't know how good it is - there are a fair # of bad reviews. If you're on Win7, I believe there's a Widget to do it as well.

Not really "small", but it works very well, and gives you an idea of what is out there...
Cheers.

You'd want to use something like inssider. A smartphone app will show you the strength on the smartphone but that won't necessarily match the signal strength achieved by the antennae on your remote.
