Find hotspots with new WiFi detector from Canary Wireless

The Digital Hotspotter® is a new second-generation Wi-Fi detection and analysis device from Canary Wireless.

Not only convenient for finding that local hotspot, but its also helpful in determining where your home or office coverage extends and where the optimal locations for use of the network are. And on the flipside, I’ve found it helpful for finding where a network is leaky–determining if your access point signal extends beyond your walls and whether it is secured–and help detect any rogue access points.

The Hotspotter display shows four crucial pieces of information: Network ID (SSID), Signal Strengh, Encryption status (WEP or WPA) and Channel–and can provide specific information about each network when multiple networks are present.
