Detecting Wireless Network
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Your computer may come with wireless network detecting software already on it but if it doesn’t then you can get a range of different products that will allow you to do so. The wireless card is designed to pick up any wireless traffic in range. When your wireless router is on it pings out a signal that the card picks up but if it’s protected this doesn’t mean you can access the network, you can just know it’s there. The ping is a way to Detect Wireless Network systems in the area and its also the carrier to any return traffic. This is setup so you can give access to some parties and not other, even others in the same household. Some people set their kids computers up but don’t give them wireless access so they don’t install the WAP key on their computer.
