There’s a lot of hidden features in Leopard, today I’ll show you a hidden details trick for your airport menu.
If you click the airport menu you will see a menu with a list of nearby wireless networks and of course the one you are connected to (if your connected to one). If you “option+click” the menu instead, you’ll see the menu displays more information than usual, including the MAC address of the access point, the channel, signal strength and transmit rate (Eg 54Mbps).
If there are multiple networks within your range, you can mouse-over them and press “option” it will display more information for those non-connected networks, including what security the network has in place. Very handy if your on the go!
