do you have a wifi scanner by chance? heck better yet, do you have an SDR? you c
an see just what is there. dont forget it's not just computers that use the 2.4g
ig band... there's baby monitors and cameras etc and those chinesium ones dont c
are if they're in the wifi portion of the band.
for exampl. stick a hobby 2.4 gig or 5.8 gig video receiver and drive around the
neighbourhood.. you'd bee surprised what cameras you can find lol
