Glances displays the Wi-Fi hotspot names and signal quality. If Glances
|
|

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

.. note::

|
You need to install the ``wireless-tools`` package on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the configuration file, you can define signal quality thresholds:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``"Poor"`` quality is between -100 and -85dBm
|
|
|
|
|
- ``"Good"`` quality between -85 and -60dBm
|
|
|
|
|
- ``"Excellent"`` between -60 and -40dBm

It's also possible to disable the scan on a specific interface from the
|
2016-10-21 23:06:02 +03:00
|
|
|
configuration file (``[wifi]`` section). For example, if you want to
|
|
|
|
|
hide the loopback interface (lo) and all the virtual docker interfaces:
|
