Stole from PCWorld.ca's one of latest article. Check it out. The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool from Microsoft and NirSoft's free WirelessKeyView are quite interesting.
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool only can be run in IE, as expected. You will have to download and install a special ActiveX before actually running it. I ran and tested my home router to see if it can find out Why can't get my wireless identified in Vista? Unfortunately, it passed all the tests, which at least should have failed in one or two. However, Microsoft provides you a list of Vista-compatible routers you can find on the market after the test was done.
WirelessKeyView is a free tool from NirSoft, that reveals all the WEP/WPA keys stored on the computer and save them to text/html/xml file. It should be quite handy for people like me who often brings my laptop to various places.
