Neighboring Access Points
Privacy Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
• Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to “plain-text” mode
(no security).
• On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
Security is configured on the AP at Advanced, Security. For more information on security settings,
see Chapter 13: “Configuring Security”.
WPA Indicates whether WPA security is On or Off ” or this access point.
Band This indicates the IEEE 802.11 mode being used on this access point. (For example, IEEE
802.11a , IEEE 802.11b , IEEE 802.11g .)
The number shown indicates the mode according to the following map:
• 2.4 indicates IEEE 802.11b mode or IEEE 802.11g mode.
• 5 indicates IEEE 802.11a mode.
Channel Shows the channel on which the access point is currently broadcasting.
The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for transmitting
and receiving.
The channel is set in Advanced, Radio Settings. (See Chapter 16: “Configuring Radio Settings”.)
Rate Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this access point is currently transmitting.
The current rate will always be one of the supported rates shown in Rates.
Signal Indicates the strength of the radio signal emitting from this access point as measured in
decibels (Db).
# of Beacons Shows the total number of beacons transmitted by this access point since it was last booted.
Last Beacon Shows the date and time that the most recent beacon was transmitted from the access point.
Rates Shows supported and basic (advertised) rate sets for the neighboring access point. Rates are shown
in megabits per second (Mbps).
All Supported Rates are listed, with Basic Rates shown in bold.
Rate sets are configured on Advanced, Radio Settings. (See Chapter 16: “Configuring Radio Set-
tings”.) The rates shown for an access point will always be the rates currently specified for that AP in
its Radio Settings.
