Neat! SDRs have been available at reasonable price points for some time but the processing power to engage with wifi and other digital signals has been somewhat elusive. Assuming RAM can be purchased in the future, I think we might see a lot more prosumer-targeted devices for doing raw signal analysis in the future.

Do you have specific SDR in mind? I thought the v2 dongle doesnt have the range of Wifi? SDR is something Ive just recently want to learn to help me understand electromagnetism
You can look at wikipedia's list of SDRs[1] to see which can do wifi ranges now. I was more thinking about the future because you're right that it's a less common capability at the moment - but if you want a popular hobbiest platform you could check out the HackRF line[2].
