What is the best meter to pick up wi fi networks at a middle distance?

Lynnezhu
I have a cornet 78 and it picks up strong wi fi but not neighborhood networks of medium strength.  I almost rented a house with 7 at and t unverse networks in the middle distance--I picked them up by opening my laptop, but each laptop opening costs me 2 hours of pain, trembling, insomnia.  wish I had a more sensitive meter to pick up things like that...

the networks were not of the highest strength.  all were over 100 feet away.  So the meter useless to detect them.  it detects other things, like cell towers, just fine.  tnx.

I have a Cornet also and it doesn't hold a candle to how an HF35C high frequency analyzer by Gigahertz Solutions picks up wireless signals.  It's very directional, too, to lead right to the source.  A friend just bought one for $299.
