netsh wlan show networks is a batch command which displays all networks, their encryption, signal strength in % and more. You could possibly make your app read the output from a hidden console.

I got also another idea. You could try make the app ping the router IP and display the signal based on speed and packet loss

You could use netsh wlan if your OS supports it, or you can use a different API to access the wireless device.

If this is being done from .Net you might want to use this library: http://managedwifi.codeplex.com
