I have been trying to set up some way to allow me to get a stronger cell signal when traveling in our RV. I have purchased a magnetic external antenna which I plan to mount on the RV roof and attach to a hotspot which we will then use as our signal source. I have also been thinking about getting an amplifier to use to increase the signal strength from the external antenna to the hotspot but was wondering if there was any way to measure the wifi signal strength in dBs using the phone as there is to measure the cell signal strength in dBs using the phone.
I have already placed my phone in test mode and it now displays the cell signal strength in dBs so I am able to see a more accurate measure of the cell signal strength than the number of bars being displayed. Is there some native way on a phone to do the same for the wifi signal strength? For what it is worth I am using an iPhone 6S Plus on a Verizon system with a Verizon 6620L Verizon hotspot. I know of no way to change the display on the hotspot to show decibels as you can with the phone itself.
