Let me see if I can figure out what you are trying to say....for locating access points that are not your own use net stumbler. For making your own you MUST buy the same brand as your router, there a few exceptions, but for home use think of it as not an option.
Read the full replyHi,
I want to know how can I get my wireless access point location that
means where my pc or laptop is presently accessing the internet.Also in
my project I need how to get other access points near my system. for
this I need an API or anything else.Bcos in my system one desktop
application is present for which can be downloaded by other users also
through net. Reply ASAP.
You want the physical location of the AP you are connected to? You'd have to do some local wardriving with a GPS and plot out signal strengths on a map, or do some fox-hunting with a directional antenna.
Us the wireless configurator built into windows to look for APs, or Netstumbler...
I don't understand this, you have an app on your desktop that you _want_ other people to download? Set up a WWWeb or FTP server on the DMZ of your router...
