Detects WiFi access points showing the SSID, MAC address, device details, WiFI channels in use and the peak signal strength at the time of survey.
Detects WiFi enabled devices connected to access points showing the MAC address, device details, WiFi channels in use, peak signal strength at time of the survey and the number of packets detected.
Detects WiFi enabled devices probing to find a WiFi network to join.

Search

Start a new detection session and view the number of access points and connected devices as well as unconnected devices.

Report

The Comms-Tek handheld WiFi detector excels in settings where non-technical personnel have responsibility for keeping networks secure or restricting access to the internet. With tried and tested technology, widely used in correctional and security contexts across the globe, the WiFi Detector puts you in control of keeping your environment free from rogue or evil twin access points.

Applications within sectors

In secure settings where access and connectivity is restricted, an illicit WiFi network allows users to bypass restrictions and connect to the internet. In the prison sector, this enables further illegal activity to be conducted from prison. The Comms-Tek WiFi Detector finds the access points and the devices connecting to them.

In commercial, industrial or government buildings the mimicking of an SSID sets up the scenario where legitimate users are tricked into connecting. Once a device is connected to the “evil twin” network the data transferred, including logins, sensitive information and financial details, is at risk from the hacker. The Comms-Tek WiFi Detector is a great line of defense against malicious activity on your network.

FAQs about Comms-Tek WiFi Detector AP/C

What is a rogue access point?

Rogue access point is a wireless access point that has been installed on your network without your permission or authorisation. It gives access to the internet to users who are intended to be restricted from connecting.

Can I export the log data?

Your stored logged survey sessions can be exported for further analysis or accessed to track a previously detected device.

What is the battery life of the Comms-Tek WiFi detector?

The Comms-Tek WiFi detector has a battery life of more than 12 hours.

How do I effectively track unauthorised access points where there are multiple authorised access points?

The ability to whitelist allowed access points and clients, by either selecting them from the survey report or in bulk by importing a list via the USB input. This means that even in locations that have authorised WiFi networks and devices, the unauthorised networks and devices can still be discovered.

Can I detect unconnected devices?

Yes, the Comms-Tek WiFi Detector shows you unconnected clients and randomised MACs which are not currently connected to the access point.

Does it detect devices searching for an access point?

Yes, the Comms-Tek WiFi Detector will show you devices that are currently searching for WiFi networks to join.
