|
Wi-Fi discovery and connection tools have existed since the early days of 802.11.

How we tested wireless LAN products
|
All products were obtained from company Web sites, downloaded, and installed on our test PCs – either a Dell 710m notebook running XP SP2, or a 2.8 GHz. 24-inch iMAC equipped with a Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 Wi-Fi adapter and running OS X 10.4. Each product was then put through its paces, checking every option, and compared for accuracy against our reference, the Intel ProSet/Wireless console, with no significant differences noted.
