Re: [orca-list] Checking Wi-Fi signal in Gnome?

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

From the Activities overview, in the Top Bar, the System Menu has a 
wireless entry that shows whether a network is connected or not. This 
won't give the signal strength, however. For that, you may need to go to 
the terminal, as you can easily do within GNOME.
