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).
