WiFi Detection with LCD screen

We haven't seen any WiFi sniffing dogs at the airport but we suspect that somewhere there is a small group of individuals dedicated to training such useful helpers. Until these canines are trained and domesticated we have a device that can assist in "sniffing out" the presence of WiFi. It's a nice unit that offers several improvements on currently available WiFi detectors.

Your typical WiFi detector will only show the presence of a signal and relative signal strength. This Wi-Fi Digital Hotspotter, from Canary Wireless, has a 12-character LCD that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present the LCD will allow you to scroll through information for each network.

Also has these great features.

* Features a LCD screen that shows signal strength, network ID (SSID), encryption status and channel
* Provides specific information about each network when multiple networks are present
* Detects Encryption (WEP and WPA)
* Frequency Range: 2.4Ghz to 2.462Ghz
* Coverage: Up to 200 feet (60m) open environment
* Compatibility: IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g networks
* Dimensions: 2.5" x 2.2" x 1" thick (64mm x 55mm x 27mm)
* Batteries: 2 x AAA (included)
