Product Description

 
The Hawking HWL2 is an advanced version of the HWL1 and improves on many functions of the previous model. The most obvious is the addtion of a Hi-Speed Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter as well as the ability to differentiate wireless networks with security enabled. The addition of a WiFi Adapter allows the user to detect an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless signal and efforlessly connect to that signal by attaching their laptop or desktop directly to the HWL2 via USB 2.0.

Hawking HWL2 USB Wireless Locator

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2006

Hawking HWL2 WiFi Locator & Antenna

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you need it. I didn't see any other detector/antenna combinations on the market. It works for me, I just with the signal stayed on longer.
Review: This machine does what I ask it to do but I don't care for it. That's a personal problem, not a failing of the WiFi locator. This machine is about the size of a deck of playing cards. It has a plastic case that's coated to look like fake chrome. In...

Much Better Reception Than Built-In Wi-Fi

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2005
Review: This gadget gives me much better Wi-Fi reception on my laptop and fewer drop-outs than my computer's built-in WiFi adapter. The included software and configuration utility is much more flexible than using the Windows-XP configuration software. Its...
