Product Description

Product Description
Now you no longer need to boot up your notebook PC just to find out whether you are near a Hot Spot. IOGEARs little WiFi HotSpots Explorer is an RF wireless device that detects WiFi 802.11b and 802.11b/g signals. It can capture WiFi signals while avoiding interference from other devices such as 2.4GHz cordless telephones, A/V senders, microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what the doctor ordered, January 18, 2007

By	S. Wilcox "rspringsgal" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product! It not only tells you the presence of wifi, but the signal strength. It's light enough to hang on your key chain, and turns itself off automatically so you don't waste battery.

Now if they'd only develop the technology to let you know if the network is encrypted, it would be perfect....

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Basic Hotspot Finder, February 12, 2007

By	Zen Williston (Heavenly Valley, NV United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Although this item does not give the info on open or secure network, it does work and seems to be sensitive. It is also nice and small and light for travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, March 14, 2008

By	T. Earle (VT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tried it and it works great. Simple to use. Gets you into the zone, then fire up the laptop to see if the hot spot is unencrypted or encrypted. Can't go wrong for the money.
