point or network device is unique, and will not be
the same with others. So you can identify a single
access point or wireless device from others by
BSSID, if they all have the same SSID.
Signal: Shows the signal strength of access point or wireless
device. Larger number means better radio strength,
which often means you’re not too far from that
access point or wireless device.
Channel: Shows the channel number that access point or
wireless device uses.
Encryption: Shows the encryption method that access point or
wireless device uses. If the wireless access point
does not enable encryption, you’ll see ‘None’
displayed here.
Authentication: Shows the authentication mode that access point or
wireless device uses. If the wireless access point
does not require authentication, you’ll see
‘Unknown’ displayed here.
Network Type: Shows the type of wireless connection. If it’s a
wireless access point, ‘Infrastructure’ will be
displayed here; if it’s a computer or network device,
‘AdHoc’ will be displayed here.
Tips:
Wireless access point (Infrastructure) is a network device which
acts as a bridge, to let wired and wireless network devices
communicate with each other.
AdHoc is another connection type. A computer or network device
can establish a direct wireless link with other computer or network
device directly, without the help of wireless access point.
