Meter question

http://lessemf.com/rf.html#455

Do I need this Improved Cell Phone detector to tell me if my neighbor's wi-fi is on?

Or do I want
Cannary Digital Hot-spotter?

The hot-spotter tells you if there is a  network, then if it's  encrypted or open.

What will either of these tell me if their wi-fi is on?

Hi Kathy,

There are no specifications at all given to tell if the first meter is
_sensitive_ enough.
The question appears to not be IF it picks up wifi, but at what range
the led bar will start climbing. Most meters I've tested start showing
elevated numbers around 150 ft. or less, and this does not tell you
_what_ is causing the elevated readings.

The Canary HS-20 I have tested, and found it to be very useful with a
proven range of 2360 ft. from consumer grade routers.

The Canary is less expensive, but has only measures WiFi 802.11b/g/n.

I still find the audio from the Acoustimeter to be the best way to
detect WiFi, because you can hear the clicking of the beacon at 10
clicks per second. Also the range for detecting WiFi is 1150 ft.
And it still hears the beacon no matter which communication protocol is
being used, 802.11a for example is rarely covered by other Hotspot finders.

Stewart,

If you have video's I apologize. I read your site, but wanted to find out what the different wireless noises sound like.  I have heard the wi-fi sound on our am radio.

Warning,   painful to some of you. Skip it or turn it down.

I have to keep my budget down, I'll see It shows noise reduction w Gila window tint. Gila may not block it all, but helps me have less burning.
