WiFi Direction and Locator

Apr 23, 2007 2 Replies

I need a simple way to find wifi locations in my RV. I need this to be very directional and not connected to my laptop.



(I have a high-powered Buffalo wifi card in my laptop and a very directional/multi-element antenna).



Thanks for any suggestions,



Dennis

Ok, a drive by hotspot finder.

Yeah, but it's in your laptop so by your own self imposed limitation, you can't use it. Therefore, it has to be stand alone. I suggest a wi-fi hotspot detector such as:

Tear it apart and attach an external antenna. The only thing the USB port does is supply power. Find a cell phone USB charger/adapter and cable to power the hotspot detector.

If something like this is not what you want, kindly describe:

  1. What problem are you trying to solve?
  2. What do you have to work with?
