| 395147 | 2005-10-10 22:09:00 | Hello All In September issue of the PC World Mag on the bottom left of Page 80 they had a thing about Wi-Fi locators & they say one of them is $70 & dad said some of them are $30? Does any one know where I could find out more about them? Who Sells them? How much they cost? Has any one use one of these before? If so how well did it do? How accurate are they? Thanks in advance for any help :) |

| 395152 | 2005-10-10 23:33:00 | The idea of the finder is that it's an inconspicuous little box which doesn't attract attention. It just shows you where there are areas of appropriate RF field strength at the expected frequencies. You can then fire up your computer. Staggering along the footpath with an open laptop might draw comment. | Graham L (2) | ||
