Regarding Wireless Info Widgets

I have tried several Wireless Info Widgets.

a common issue is that there isn't a wireless connection, instead of showing "Offline" and 0 signal strength. All of them shows full signal strength and either nothing for SSID or the orginal SSID remains.

I tried to change the codes, but I have little success.

Anyone else have this issue?

Have you tried the wireless one I made for avescripter? It doesn't show the SSID, but it does show the signal strength. Can you check.

If its ok, I could try to add the SSID

Infact there's even one that someone else made for avescripter that shows the ssid and meter. Seems to work fine with me, except maybe the signal strengh reported is lower.

If mine works let me know I'll quickly add ssid in a few mins. But try the wirelessinfo desklets too.

Hi TravelFox

Does that Yahoo Wiget work with Avedesk?

But I am using WirelessInfo becuase I like that visual style tho.

Hi PCM,

I do get SSID when a wireless connection is present. My issue with it is that it doesn't really show the wireless connection is "Offline".

With all Avedesk wireless widgets, the signal strength display remains at the level while a connection was present. If there was no connection to begin with, it shows 100%.

It'd be nice if I know when my wireless connection is "Not there".

Thanks again.

Hansioux,

Have you tried the avescripter wireless info desklet? Located at www.avedesk.org

This desklet. http://avedesk.philc.ca/modules/PDdownload...hp?cid=8&lid=88 was made by someone else but works fine on my system.

I'm asking this because the problems your getting don't exist with me. I have wirless desklet on my desktop and when there is nothing it shows 0% and no ssid. Only shows the strength when there is a connection .

Hey, I just tryed this wireless desklet and it works for me, except the strenght is much lower then in offfical software. Like 40% desklet, 70% offficial monitor, why is that?

The person that did that desklet lowered signal strength for some reason.

I've updated my Wireless meter to include the SSID.

That's much better! Now it's like 84-88% desklet, 80% siemens-gigaset software.

Hmm... it looks like when the "signal strenght" (I think it's actually "link quality") goes down 1% in that software your desklet goes 2%, but that's not a problem to me. Thanks pcm! :)

Its just a small adjust ment that you can change if you want.

Open up the main.vbs.

Look for the function called

SigStrengthValue()

then you can adjust the value here:

SigStrengthValue = SigStrengthValue / 50 * 255.

The number to play with is the 50. Maybe put a 49 in your case. I found that 50 was about the right number on 2 systems I had.

OK I tryed playing with that number, but when I change it to any other number except the default 50 I get, for example 73%,6666666666... on dekslet.

Your right, and I've updated the desklet so that rounding error is fixed. It will now always round to a whole number.

You can redownload the same desklet again.
