Your life on the road just got a lot easier. With the first and only WiFi detector on the market today, you no longer need to cross your fingers as you wait for your notebook to boot up.

Summary: The Microwave Finder
Comment: Bought the product thinking it would be a cheap good wifi finder. The bottom line is that, similar to other reviews, it takes forever to find networks. A plus though is that if you are near a running microwave, it gives you an immediate 3 lights. So if your looking to put the hot in hotpocket, this product will do the trick. It does work so I can't bash it that much. If you have the patience, this product will be ok for you.

Summary: Garbage
Comment: This is a worthless piece of equipment. False readings and failure to recognize even strong signals. Does't tell you anything about the signal. There are other sniffers out there that tell you if the signal is encrypted or not. I had one of these for a few months before the handle broke and I was glad to get rid of it. Useless thing. Spend a few more dollars and get one that tells you more about the signal. If I could have I would have given this zero stars.

Summary: I'll send you mine, for the cost of postage
Comment: This is a piece of junk; I sort-of had a decent impression of Kensington products, but after buying this and walking around airports and malls and streets like an idiot (for never finding a single hot-spot, even though I knew they were there) I will no longer buy anything with the Kensington name on it.
If anyone wants it, email me and I'll send it to you for the cost of postage. but be fore-warned: it's a piece of crap.

Summary: Push the button and watch the pretty lights turn on
Comment: I concur. I wish I would have read the reviews before I bought this piece of crap. I think the lights just turn on whenever you push the button. There's probably no wireless network sensor inside at all. Just a button and lights. Totally worthless. The folks at Kensington probably did a cost analysis and determined that they could manufacture and sell enough of these jokers to make a profit before people caught on that it didn't do anything.
