I think what you may have to do is modify your wifi to be directional when pointed at the AP's. It will give you a better line of sight. Pin-pointing the AP's would involve triangulation. Ever see the movie Pump up the Volume? Thanks, Jake Gardner TTC Network Administrator Ext. 246 -----Original Message----- From: Mark A.

Ex: You are driving down the street and your WIFI connection "see's" three WIFI connections, with various signal strengths. Connection #1. Network name Red 90% signal strength Connection #2. Network name Blue 80% signal strength Connection #3. Network name Green 70% signal strength Which house is the Blue network located? Thanks...

In other words, you are in a public location and your laptop detects 5 unsecure WIFI hosts. How do you know which house is using the network name "Bongo" (Couldn't think of a funnier name, sorry).
