This is not a good "out-of-the-box" detector. It will work and the price with shipping is going to be reasonable at around [..] to [...]. It's just NOT ready to go when you take it out of the packaging. The problem is the battery compartment and electrical contacts for one of the batteries. One of the batteries will most likely be dead when you get it since one set of the electrical contacts appears to be installed upside down which shorts out one of the batteries and prevents the device from working also. This is especially upsetting since there is a tiny "inspected by ." sticker on the back battery compartment.
With a fresh battery in hand the unit can be made operational by bending the small clip with a pair of tweezers or possibly your finger nail and then inserting the new battery. Its a little tricky getting the battery not to pop out before you get the battery cover back on, but it can be done. Depending on the type of battery you buy, this may add another [...] to your cost. It's a fairly simple repair but you need to know how button batteries work so the device will work. Bottom line is, you shouldn't have to repair a new item to get it to work.
If you do the repair correctly, the device works pretty good and has a small flashlight that comes on if you hold the button down. Due to the low cost, most people won't return the product. But, be ready to perform the repair procedure or have someone who is available for you when you open it. The unit uses two CR2032 Button batteries, so you might want to have one available.
No, I would not recomend this item to anyone who isn't anxious to repair it. Also, figure the cost might be around [...] total when you are done and check out the other devices that are simular on the site for around [...] with shipping.

This stinker is a wifi detector. It is also a flash light. It is a piece of junk. Assembled improperly, it burns out one of the two batteries it uses within a day. This is, obviously, a manufacturing defect. After paying, with shipping, around $13 for this piece of crap, and trying different batteries three times, and adjusting the batter clips to make sure that they were not crossing the problem persisted. I wound up throwing this piece of s__t away.

Got it. unwrapped it. Turned it on... it Broke.

After installing the batteries (included), the device's lights flashed for about 2 minutes. Didn't detected my WiFi signal even though I was in a WiFi area. After 2 minutes the device simply stopped working.

Flash light never light up.

The whole thing is a ugly piece of cheap plastic. I got it for free for buying more items at AMAZON.

You don't waste your money.

I didn't have high expectations - but hey, you could buy a marshmallow and expect to have a better wi-fi detector. Batteries were dead within a few days - tried it like 5 times. Nice....not.

As with many things in life, you get what you paid for. Or, in this case, you get what you DIDN'T pay for. This was included in with another purchase, as a "free gift". I am so grateful that I did not purchase it! It is cheaply constructed and does not work. We ended up sending it to Goodwill, in the hopes that someone can use it for parts.

mine didn't work. well it worked by 10 Seconds and that's it
I should buy me and ice cream instead and is $1.66 cheaper.

We only got it to work maybe once or twice, and that is in the room where the WiFi is present. We thought maybe the batteries needed to be replaced and bought new one, but the battery connection is not good, but for less then five dollars what can you expect.

I purchased the wifi key chain light and the button stuck the first time I pushed it and it was just a bad purchase. I should have known better than to buy an electronic device for under $5.00 and expect it to work properly. Lesson learned.

This is a waste of money.I stood in the middle of the library and it showed no signal.My laptop shows three separate signals from the library all with good to excellent signals!

I'm a PC tech. and I love gadgets likes this one but there are things to consider some pros n cons.
-Perfect for gifts not to mention its cheap
-its a key chain n still you can used it even its broken
-WiFi and flashlight in one
-rubber like coated case

Cons.
-WIFI its not that accurate
-cheap circuit, broke easily
-flash light not mentioned in the manual
-when buying lot expect other device is defective
