Note that the pipe through `tr` in the above command is just because the output of the command may be too wide for the default terminal window. You can leave off the pipe through `tr` _if_ your phone is in landscape mode _or_ you use `ssh` into your phone from another computer and therefore type the command from another computer.

To monitor the signal strength of your WiFi reception, you can use either the `iw` command or the `nmcli` command, as follows.
`sudo iw dev wlan0 scan | grep -E '^BSS|freq:|signal:|SSID'`
Depending on the complexity of your network, you may not need to display all 4 pieces of information. This gives the signal strength in dBm, which is a logarithmic scale. The signal strength will nearly always be a negative number. A greater number is a stronger signal. For example, -60 dBm is (ten times) stronger than -70 dBm.
`nmcli -f "CHAN,BARS,SIGNAL,SSID" d wifi list`
This gives a "signal quality" value, typically in the range 0 to 100. A greater number is a stronger signal.
