Enjoy All the Wi-Fi Hotspots
With more gadgets going wireless, the biggest thing now is to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi access areas that seem to be popping up all over the world. Working on the go has never been easier, and being able to park your butt with your laptop of PDA and enjoy connectivity at the drop of a hat is a great feeling. The only problem is, how do you know where those Wi-Fi access areas are? If you are strolling through New York City, pretty much the entire metropolitan area is hooked up. Smaller towns have coffee shops and libraries that advertise their free wireless access, but you are not always so lucky to have it spelled out on a sign for you. While many of the wireless electronics have their own built-in detectors, you also have the option of this little device that may save you time and energy when looking for a mobile workspace.
This Digital WiFi Detector will point you to the hottest Wi-Fi spots around. And what’s even better is the display will tell you not only where the signal is, but how strong a signal you can expect, ensuring you don’t sit down and set up shop only to find out that you are in a weak zone. The back lit LCD screen is a nice touch, allowing you to read it in even the darkest of days, and also lets you know about what encryption types are there for each network, if any.
Aimed at the traveling professional, you could also use this to ride around your neighborhood and see who is offering free, unencrypted wireless signal. Of course, I would never condone sponging off another person’s network, anyways. After all they can see what you are doing that way.
