ZyXEL AG225H WiFi Finder

Finally, a WiFi finder that actually makes sense. I’ve seen so many of these things with just two LEDs—red for no WiFi, Green for much WiFi—to know that the previous crop of WiFi detectors were hunks of garbage. This one at least has an LCD screen and can scan the current WiFi environment and supply…

Lost in Translation

We don’t usually post these “I saw this sign when I was on leave from the drying-out facility in Minnesota” tips, but this one was just too good. Reader Jefferson took this snap in his hometown of Teresa’s Mexican Restaurant. First off, you’ve got the fact that this is a Mexican restaurant. Fair enough. Then,…

Team PAD broke their own record—55 miles—yesterday by shooting a WiFi signal 125 across the arid wastes around Las Vegas aka The Las Vegas Suburbs. They used 12- and 10-foot satellite dishes to send a 12Mbps to St. George, Utah and were able to run SSH, VNC, and ping with reckless abandon. Now, if someone…

Wireless Jammer

For a small fee of $445, you too can annoy thousands of people on a daily basis. This little device has the potential to jam wifi and Bluetooth signals. I predict those Amish are behind this, trying to put a halt to the Google takeover of the world. Unfortunately this gadget will start popping up…

MiniSD WiFi Cards Working in the Wild

Sandisk SD Wifi Card Finally Works
