Figure 6-4. Viewing Detailed Information about a Wireless Station’s
The Station Properties section displays much the same information as the
Device Information > Wireless Stations screen, such as the station’s MAC and
IP address. However, you can also see whether the station supports QoS
capabilities such as Voice and WMM.
View the Traffic section to monitor the quality and performance of the connec-
tion. The interface reports speed in terms of packets per second, total through-
put in Mbps, and average speed in Mbps.
On the right, the interface further breaks down statistics into received and
transmitted traffic.
Note that these statistics do not include retry overhead, which means that in
a network with significant congestion or interference, a user might perceive
the connection to be slower than these statistics would seem to indicate. The
sections below can help you monitor that aspect of the wireless connection.
