6. (Optional) For Hop frequency, type the frequency, in milliseconds, that the Wi-Fi scanner will

Allowed values are any number of seconds or milliseconds, and take the format number{s|ms}.
For example, to set Hop frequency to one second, enter 1s or 1000ms.
The default is 150ms, and the maximum is 10000ms (10s).
7. (Optional) For Update interval, type the number of seconds between scans.

a. Click to expand Output log filtering.
b. For Minimum RSSI level to report, type the minimum RSSI signal strength that a device
must have to be logged by the Wi-Fi scanner. This allows more distant devices to be
filtered out of the report.
The minimum allowed value is -200, and the maxium is 0. The default is -200.
c. (Optional) For File of blocklisted OUIs or MAC addresses, specify the path and filename

addresses that should be excluded from the output log. The OUI is the first three bits of
the MAC address. The file should take the format of one MAC address or OUI per line.
For example, the following example file, /etc/config/scripts/blocklist.txt, will blocklist all
devices with the OUI of 00.00.00, and also blocklist the three listed MAC addresses:
00:00:00
