wifi detection

My mom wants to purchase a Digital Hotspotter for WiFi.  Has anybody else had any luck with one of these?

-Glitter

I used one that was OK but not great.  There
was a fancy one that I saw but I think it's no longer
made.  I think the Electrosmog detector is a reasonable
alternative once you learn what wi-fi sounds like.
Costs about $95.

Hi Glitter,
I have the Canary Hotspotter HS-20, and have found it to be ultra
sensitive, gives outstanding range.
I have detected 2 neighbors at a distance of 2360 ft (720m) when in
clear line-of-sight.
I reviewed it on my web page, near the bottom, at:

Stewart,

You're blog is good I have to buy a wi-fi meter too.

We are hard-wired w DSL. We haven't set up wi-fi. How do you set up 3 computers safety?

We got rid of our router w wi-fi capability. Do we need to order single DSL wired
router's for each computer? The 2-wire has wi-fi disabled, but is that enough?

Isn't DSL & broadand one of the same? Is it okay to split the internet l w
their filters? I feel something as soon as plug in the Ethernet cord.

Thanks,
Kathy

You can use 1 DSL modem, and then connect that to an ethernet "switch"
which will allow you to have a hard-wired network with multiple computers
all connected to the internet.

I've had DSL for a decade -- my impression that the big problem with
DSL is the high frequencies coming out of ALL of the phone lines in
your house.  I'd think it'd be preferable to have the DSL isolated to
a separate phone line that only goes into one room of your house,
but I have never tried that (would require someone from the
phone company to rewire things into your house).

The term "broadband" incorporates all possible sources of
high speed internet access -- DSL, cable, Clear Wire, etc.

Note that an ethernet switch has a whole bunch of ethernet jacks -- one
is an input coming from your DSL modem, and the rest are outputs going
to your various computers.

you can find/buy shielded ethernet cables, but my experimentation with
these were that these made my symptoms worse, not better (I'm
assuming that the extra metal in the shielding was acting as an antenna
or "bouncing" some EMF around).

Marc

I've tested shielded ethernet cable before, but in fact, I'm not sure why it's called "shielded", because I could still measure voltage and intermediate frequencies from them, when plugged into an ungrounded ethernet switch/router.  Grounding the ethernet switch/router can  help with the voltage part at least, but distance is still required for the intermediate frequencies.  http://www.wireless-precaution.com/main/electric.php#grounding

That I can answer. Between my computer and my brother's computer, I
attach with ethernet, 10-baseT cableing. The hub I am using, that is
quiet, is the Kensington EtheRx Workgroup Hub KNE8TP/WG

Now that I think of it, why isn't it reviewed on my page?

The biggest problem is with the transformer, because of the magnetic
field it, or they, tend to put out.
I stick it up in a corner of the room away from me. :) and don't turn it
on unless the connection is needed.

For the computer side, I used to use an Intel Ethernet/10 card, but on
the current ASUS motherboard with GigaLan built in, it is acceptable to
use the built in circuits.

I am not familiar with DSL. I am stuck on dialup. :)
Even if you have only one computer with the internet connection, the
other computers connected to it, can share the connection, IF they are
set up correctly. That is a software thing. I'm only saying "Anything is
possible."

It could be. Each piece of equipment may or may not be quiet by design.
My experience has taught me each device or circuit board may or may not
be quiet. Each needs to be tested individually, to know if it is okay,
and has low emissions.

> Isn't DSL & broadand one of the same?
Not really. DSL is one of many ways to connect to the internet.
Broadband is a wide definition, that includes many forms of connections
and methods (satellite, BPL, FIOS, DSL, etc).

Can't say.

Interesting. Into what port is what wire/cable plugged in to?
Which kind of jack or connection type is it?
Is the device being plugged in, turned on?

If your DSL cable brings you all the neighbor's traffic all the time,
than I would say it could be noisy when you're not using it. But that
seems like a security/privacy hole, so maybe it is something more about
the carrier frequency? Maybe somebody else with more hands-on experience
with that kind of DSL could say...

The technician in me is coming out. Down boy down!
