We have a wireless access point (unsecured) merrily advertising its presence.

Is there any product or easy way to physical locate the access point using a signal strength triangulator or simular.

We are having problems locating the offending beast! We will be wandering around for weeks tryig to find it!

Any ideas?

A directional antenna, externally connected to a PCMCIA adapter using the signal strength meter of the client adapter software.

My pleasure, the Orinoco adapter is a good one.
