Canary Wireless has finally started shipping their Hotspotter — a WiFi finder that displays the network name (SSID), channel and whether it is encrypted or not. I snapped one up today!
Up until now, I’ve been using a Smart ID WiFi detector. It’s pretty sensitive, especially indoors, but since it doesn’t tell you if the network is WEP/WPA encrypted or not, there’s no way of knowing if you’ll be able to easily connect once you fire up your laptop.
The Hotspotter, on the other hand, gives you all this information on its little screenlet. Now if only it had an external antenna jack….
looks huge?
