Best Wi-Fi range extenders for catching nearby signals?

Is there actually such a thing as a device you could just plug into a standard wall outlet that would, I don't know, start picking up all the surrounding Wi-Fi signals?

What kind of influence are we even talking about here?!?

just a standard wall outlet, I suppose—something simple enough so I can get my phone hooked up to the internet

😁 No, let me stop you right there—that device simply doesn't exist.

Or perhaps he’s just looking for a standard Wi-Fi adapter?

He seems to think he can just tinker around with some little gadget to intercept and crack open other people's Wi-Fi networks.
The reality is that's a federal offense, and you're looking at fines that can swing anywhere from five grand up to $8333 bucks.
