I'm soon going to install a 3g modem (Huawei B932) with an external antenna on our summer place. When choosing what direction the antenna should be directed it would be very useful to get some sort of measure for the signal strength for each direction. The modem it self just gives 3 levels with different led colors, and I suspect that is not enough for me.
I found many questions about getting the signal strength for a USB stick modem, but how about a real modem that is connected to the laptop through an ethernet cabel.
I tried Ixconn, but could not get it working. It just says "Modem not responding".
I'm using 12.04
