Note that this product only detects the presense of a WiFi signal letting you know if it's worth turning your notebook on to attempt a connection. It does not tell you if there is WEP encryption or if the AP is coded to only accept certain MAC addresses, has a DHCP server, etc., etc.
It is my understanding that the product is also not yet available, so we don't have any field test data yet. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Baer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 7:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [nycwireless] kensington wifi finder ... dont know the credibility of this product ... http://www.kensington.com/html/3720.html it's only like ~$30 from the preorder pages ive seen ... -snip- Your life on the road just got a lot easier. With the first and only WiFi detector on the market today, you no longer need to cross your fingers as you wait for your notebook to boot up. Just press a button and the Kensington WiFi Finder lets you know if your location is "hot"...instantly. No software or computer needed. What could be easier? -snip- - jon pgp key: http://www.jonbaer.net/jonbaer.asc fingerprint: F438 A47E C45E 8B27 F68C 1F9B 41DB DB8B 9A0C AF47 -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
