Tried this 2 feet away from my access point and it said there was no signal. Originally released in 2003, it's outdated (only detects one of the 3 kinds of wifi signals now out). Definitely NOT worth a penny. This device is garbage.
The individuals receiving them has been totally 100% satisfied with the product. These wer bought and presented as a gift.
So if your looking to put the hot in hotpocket, this product will do the trick. Bought the product thinking it would be a cheap good wifi finder. If you have the patience, this product will be ok for you. It does work so I can't bash it that much. The bottom line is that, similar to other reviews, it takes forever to find networks. A plus though is that if you are near a running microwave, it gives you an immediate 3 lights.
Spend a few more dollars and get one that tells you more about the signal. I had one of these for a few months before the handle broke and I was glad to get rid of it. Useless thing. This is a worthless piece of equipment. If I could have I would have given this zero stars. Does't tell you anything about the signal. False readings and failure to recognize even strong signals. There are other sniffers out there that tell you if the signal is encrypted or not.
but be fore-warned: it's a piece of crap. This is a piece of junk; I sort-of had a decent impression of Kensington products, but after buying this and walking around airports and malls and streets like an idiot (for never finding a single hot-spot, even though I knew they were there) I will no longer buy anything with the Kensington name on it.If anyone wants it, email me and I'll send it to you for the cost of postage.
