Today our featured item from the Windows 7 Personalization Gallery is the Network Meter. This handy gadget monitors both wired and wireless connections and has the following features:
- SSID
- Signal Quality
- Machine IP Address
- External IP Address
- IP Lookup (Google Maps)
- Speed Test
- Download Speeds
- Total Bandwidth Usage
- Shows Secure/Unsecure Connection State
This is one of my permanent desktop gadgets on Windows 7 because it has such great info in it and gives me a quick reference for network information. Also handy to see network traffic movement since the Network Icon in the systray no longer shows network activity in Windows 7.
