The Search for Wireless Devices utility searches for wireless 
LAN and Bluetooth devices currently used in the 
neighborhood, and displays information about them on a 
virtual map.

To search for wireless devices:

Click the 

 icon in the system tray.

Click Search for Wireless Devices.

A virtual map appears with a graphical representation of the 
wireless devices that have been detected.

Search for Wireless Devices can also be started from the 
ConfigFree Launcher.

For Wi-Fi networks, the intensity of a signal is displayed in 
five levels or “bands.” The signal from the connected access 
point is displayed in the bands surrounding the PC icon at the 
center of the map. The closer to the center, the stronger the 
connection. Placing the pointer over the displayed “point of 
light” shows detailed information about the wireless device.

The wireless device shown near the center of the map is not 
necessarily near your notebook computer. If a wireless device 
located a distance away also has a strong signal, it appears 
near the center of the map as well.

The Search for Wireless Devices feature identifies if a device 
is IEEE 802.11a, b, or g. It also includes an option to display 
hidden access point availability.
