1. A signal tester, comprising:
- a controller, wherein the controller is operable to;
receive first signal strength data from a first wireless modem for a first wireless network in communication with the first wireless modem; and
receive second signal strength data from a second wireless modem for a second wireless network in communication with the second wireless modem;
at least one display operable to selectively display the first signal strength data and the second signal strength data or to simultaneously display the first signal strength data and the second signal strength data; and
at least one memory operable to store the first signal strength data and the second signal strength data for communication to an external device.
