There's a nice free android app that would work if the rogue was an access 
point or a client device advertising a network.  It's called WiFi 
Analyzer<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd>.
  One of the options is to choose an AP and home in on it using a signal meter 
with or without an audible component.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Rogue device / client device location

I would like to improve our ability to accurately locate rogue wireless access 
points or clients. With non-directional methods, we can narrow it down to a 
general area; for example, maybe one of 4 rooms in a residential hall. However 
I would like to be able to narrow it down with much more certainty.

What methods are others using for this? The Fluke AirCheck with directional 
antenna seems to do the job well, but with the usual Fluke price tag. Is anyone 
using anything cheaper or homegrown? Any experience with USB adapters with 
directional antennas?

Thanks,
