Abstract:
A device for determining network parameters may include one or more antennae and a processor. For example, the device may include multiple antennae so that direction information for one or more wireless network sources may be determined. Network parameters may include security information for the network, network name information, and/or other information. The processor included in the device may not be configured to transmit and receive information on an information communication connection with the wireless network source(s); for example, the device may be a stand-alone device separate from a user device (such as a personal computer) configured to transmit and receive information on an information communication connection with the wireless network source(s). In other embodiments, the device may be at least partially integrated with a user device (e. g. , may have a separate processor but be included in a user device housing).
