Full FeedTired of trying to find a hot spot? Try the WiFi Walker.
We’ve all been there, stuck trying to connect to the Internet only to find that either there is nothing around where we are, or all the networks need FBI permission to get in. Wouldn’t it be a lot more convenient if before we decide where to plunk down and relax with our extra large coffee and laptop we knew we could actually get online? Now you can. Enter the WiFi Walker.
This pocket sized gadget is an 802.1b.g WiFi finder and a USB adapter all rolled into one. It has a backlit LCM display that reads detailed information about any in range hot spots. It will tell you the signal strength, name, encryption, security status and AP number, and SSID. This way you aren’t stuck sitting there wishing you had gone to that other place where you just might be able to connect. And in case you are in the outback somewhere working on a laptop minus a wireless card, the USB Adapter also double as a wireless adapter. Nice, huh?
It powers up right from your laptop through the USB, so no batteries needed. It comes in a nice durable packaging, which should withstand a good amount of bangs and bumps. You can nab yours at wifiseeker.com at an MSRP of $59.95. Or, if you don’t want to spend quite that much, that also have the Wifi Seeker for $14.95. The Seeker is a device you push the button and wave around and it shows red lights that stay lit when you are in range of a WiFi hot spot. No lights, no dice.
May the Internet be with you!
