There is a nice tool from TRENDnet TEW-1. This is what I think the WiFi detector is most suited for. This detector is used to find trouble spots in a b/g (2.4GHz) network. Most people do not know that most SOHO APs come tuned to chanel 6 or 7. The exact channel that microwaves and cordless phones are on. If you are looking for a tool to find an AP then the only real option is a PDA with a WiFi card. PS most of the PDAs have the ability to detect Bluetooth also(if it is discoverable). Also remember that if you are on my AP your lappy is mine so lets remember to disable AD HOC and have some security sence about WiFi.
