Hawking WiFi b/g Network Locator
With Directional Antenna and USB NIC

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.

The hassle of powering up your laptop and connecting to wireless "Hot-Spots" is now significantly simplified by the HWL2. Simply push the "Locate" button on the HWL2, detect and connect. No more guessing and configuring each specific wireless "hot-spot." The HWL2 is equipped with a new, re-designed, flip up directional antenna that serves two purposes: 1) When detecting wireless networks, the Hi-Gain Directional Antenna helps the user determine exactly where the source of the wireless netweork is coming from by showing stronger signals at different angles. 2) When connecting to a wireless network, the Hi-Gain Directional Antenna guarantees the strongest link possible and provides greater distance than current wireless network adapters on the market due to its advanced 5dBi Antenna.

The HWL2 also automatically recharges its batteries when connected to a laptop so you never have to worry about replacing the batteries.

Easy to Use

Step 1: Flip open the directional to reveal the locate button.
Step 2: Scan for local wireless networks by pressing the locate button.
Step 3: Once the network is detected, plug in the HWL2 and surf the web.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
 
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

save your money and your time, this is an expencive wifi finder that does'nt really work, and it is junk, it will not discriminate between real wifi and noise, it will not boost your connection, it simply is a waist of money. the person that put the 5star review obviously works for them.

Not great. Basically a glorified locator similar to those costing $11. This one will also make the connection, but we didn't care about that feature and didn't want it or even know we were getting it. We were looking for a unit that was a cut above the $11 devices because they really don't work well (false signals, non-directional). This one detects the same false signals and is BARELY directional. Our advice: Keep looking. Not worth the price.

Nice little product ... Stays connected . Won't detect a signal less than 30% strength ... and you have to press the button for EACH 10 second attempt at detecting a network ... This product would be infinitely better if you could simply turn it on and it continuously detected.
