Windows – Command to open windows explorer window with filtered results

ant is not a part of standard Android SDK setup. You'll have to install it.

• Download the latest ant zip file from The Apache Ant Project.
• Extract the zip file to a folder, say c:\ant\
• Add c:\ant to your path environment variable

Once these are done, you'll be able to run ant from the command line

After much internal infighting, I utilized a combination of VBScript and command line. Since there doesn't appear to be a WMI methodology to grab the signal strength anymore, and since I'd prefer to collect the information over a short period of time and average it, I'm using VBScript to execute NETSH and pull the data I need.

This could absolutely be quickly modified to repeat endlessly so you could walk around with your laptop to determine signal strength in different areas (although, absolutely not recommended because far superior 3rd-party software packages exist).
