Abstract: A method and system for indicating wireless interconnectivity between at least two electronic devices is useful for configuring wireless networks. The method includes activating at each device a wireless networking communication interface (step 305). At least one other device is then identified at each device (step 310). It is then determined at each device whether a wireless communication channel is operative with an identified at least one other device (step 315). An alarm is then triggered at each device that does not have a wireless communication channel operative with an identified at least one other device (step 320).
