Which is a problem because...?

Access points set up not to broadcast their SSIDs are set up that way
for a reason-one that manufacturers of the current generation of Wi-Fi
detectors have, for the most part, graciously seen fit to respect.

Getting back to the original poster's question, I wouldn't bother with
anything these days that doesn't provide a LCD readout of what it finds.
After all, the idea is to keep you from having to pull out your laptop
and boot up. I'm using a ZyXEL AG-225H USB access
point/adapter/detector that I'm quite satisified with. The latest
version of it has a backlit display and can detect pre-N networks.
