(More customer reviews)Save your money. I install wireless systems for a living, and thought this would be a great tool to check installations without having to use my notebook computer. I tried it about 30 feet from the source and it worked, so I began to wander away from the source to see how far I could get. First, it's almost impossible to see in daylight, and second, it pooped out way before my notebook computer connection did. I mean, WAY before. The Wi-Fi Finder showed no signal, yet my notebook still showed an excellent signal with all bars lit.
I then tried it in the room the wireless router is located, and no lights came on at all. I was right next to the access point and got no response. Plus, when it does work it takes almost as long to register a signal as it does to bootup your notebook.
Bottom line: If you think this device is going to save you the time of opening up your notebook computer you are sadly mistaken. Its readings are so false, especially on the negative side, it's pretty much worthless.
In Kensington's defense, they told me they are changing the firmware to improve the product, but they didn't give me a date as to when these new units will ship. So, until then, this thing is just an expensive key fob.
