Definitely NOT worth a penny. This device is garbage. Originally released in 2003, it's outdated (only detects one of the 3 kinds of wifi signals now out). Tried this 2 feet away from my access point and it said there was no signal.
These wer bought and presented as a gift. The individuals receiving them has been totally 100% satisfied with the product.
Bought the product thinking it would be a cheap good wifi finder. So if your looking to put the hot in hotpocket, this product will do the trick. The bottom line is that, similar to other reviews, it takes forever to find networks. A plus though is that if you are near a running microwave, it gives you an immediate 3 lights. It does work so I can't bash it that much. If you have the patience, this product will be ok for you.
I had one of these for a few months before the handle broke and I was glad to get rid of it. False readings and failure to recognize even strong signals. This is a worthless piece of equipment. Useless thing. Does't tell you anything about the signal. There are other sniffers out there that tell you if the signal is encrypted or not. Spend a few more dollars and get one that tells you more about the signal. If I could have I would have given this zero stars.
This is a piece of junk; I sort-of had a decent impression of Kensington products, but after buying this and walking around airports and malls and streets like an idiot (for never finding a single hot-spot, even though I knew they were there) I will no longer buy anything with the Kensington name on it.If anyone wants it, email me and I'll send it to you for the cost of postage. but be fore-warned: it's a piece of crap.
