Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice Basic Hotspot Finder.......2007-02-13

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 out of 5 stars Just what the doctor ordered.......2007-01-18

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....

1 out of 5 stars Stay Far Far Away!!!.......2006-07-16

Worthless... very mixed results, basically has not wroked at all and this is in a suburban small town with one signal around.
