The best WiFi Finder I've ever seen

 

It is a convenient tool to check the WiFi presence, no need to boot up notebook, really good.

The only 100% accuracy in the market, very easy to use

A better key chain

Useless

Well, it works as advertised I guess -- if you read the fine print, so my rating may be unfair. It locates hot spots, but it does not tell you if they are secured, so basically useless for me.

Basic WiFinder finder let you find out if there is WiFi without turning on your laptop or Ipod. It will not tell you if they are secured or open to the public.

Easy wifi locator

Compact, reliable ,convenient and a good price for what it does. Takes the guess work out of locating a convenient Hot Spot while on the road. I would highly recommend this locator.

This little gadget can detect a Wi-fi signal instantly, I use it for my job, (not exactly as it was meant to be used) and have been able to successfully locate hidden laptops, and other computer peripherals with it. We love it and the bad guys are not...

This items does what is supposed to do, quickly and easily. Push a button and look at the resulting lights. Doesn't get much easier.

Works as advertised!

 

Works as advertised!

This hotspot finder works great and as advertised, however, most spots required a key to access the connection. You don't know that it will require a key until you turn on your laptop and attempt to connect.
