Readers know that I’ve been going cross country recently. Finding a good wifi signal can be a bitch in some locales and the online directories are in a very primitive state right now. So, my girlfriend bought me a $25 Kensington WiFi Finder. If you are in a lightly populated or tech-backward region I recommend it, it’s pretty simple and not really worth it in an area where you have a dense network of signals, but…it worked for me in Lowell, Massachusetts, an old mill town that really isn’t “cutting edge.” I ended up camped outside the local Episcopal Church, which seemed to be the hub for about 3 good signals.
