Network Info II for Android

App: Network Info II

Publisher: Alexandros Schillings

Cost: Free

This tool does a decent job with Wi-Fi and also shows detail on mobile carrier signals, Bluetooth, GPS-based location, and even how your device fits into the IPv6 landscape. Publisher Schillings has packed a lot of functionality into a deceptively simple interface. For a well-rounded look at all signals, this app is a great gift to the Android community.
