Pros:Looks nice on your keyring due to the smoked plastic that is over the LEDs and the buttonFeels very solidly builtEasy to use, just click and watch the LEDsLEDs are bright enoughComes with a wrist strap
Cons:Very inaccurate, was standing right next to my wireless AP and it was detecting a weak signalBulky on your keyring if you are a minimalist. Would be handy to keep in the front pocket of your EDC bag though
Other Thoughts:I guess you could mod the antenna on this to get a more accurate reading, but I'm not really the type to do that...
Bottomline:Buy it if you feel like modding the antenna. Otherwise, rather useless...

not so precise

Pros:- Detect wireless signal fast.- Easy to understand: * red led: no signal; * one green led: weak signal; * two green leds: medium signal; * tree green leds: strong signal;
Cons:- Is some places, the signal is not detected, but I turn on my laptop an try to connect with a very good signal.
Other Thoughts:- If you see the tree grenn lights, then you are very closer to the signal. Or maybe YOU ARE the signal!!
Bottomline:- I got two of those. One is different from other. Don't why, but one of them gets a better signal detection.
