Unless you have some reason that it has to be specific for a Linksys device (and I can not think of any reason), then any monitoring device that can monitor WiFi channels will work.
The problem any consumer equipment is that the "signal strength" is really a measurement of the "signal to noise ratio", unless you have an older Orinco card that actually has a signal strength output.
First choice would be the $200 Wi Spy, followed by the $400 Wi-Spy s.
4x. These are USB devices.

Next would be several of the BV Systems products.

start at around $500 not including the HP iPAQ PocketPC.
Finally you have the $10,000 - $30,000 products.
