Wi-Fi Trekker WFS-2
ADVERTISEMENTS
Smart ID’s newly revamped Wi-Fi Trekker is only slightly larger than PCTEL’s Wi-Fi Seeker but comes with a neck strap rather than a key ring. Holding the device’s single button down continually scans the area. This device features a unique Auto Scan Mode, which continually searches for a wireless network when you click the button twice.
The Wi-Fi Trekker’s small size and sleek design make it one of the few devices that you’d want to be seen wearing around your neck. This unit performed better than average when scanning for the corporate and home access points but had a difficult time locating faint signals.
