ProSAFE Single Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point WN203

Monitor Wireless Clients

The Wireless Stations screen contains the Available Wireless Stations table. This table shows
all IP devices that are associated with the wireless access point in the wireless network that
is defined by the wireless network name (SSID). The table headings indicate the wireless
modes (802.11b, 802.11bg, or 802.11ng).
Note: A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all
using the same network name (SSID). This uniformity extends the
reach of the wireless network and allows users to roam from one
wireless access point to another, providing seamless network
connectivity. Under these circumstances, be aware that the
Available Wireless Stations table includes only the stations
associated with this wireless access point.
