Table 11.5 Neighboring Access Point Statistics
Field Description
Indicates the type of device:
Type
• AP indicates the neighboring device is an access point that supports the IEEE 802.11 Wireless
Networking Framework in Infrastructure Mode.
• Ad hoc indicates a neighboring station running in Ad hoc Mode. Stations set to ad hoc mode com-
municate with each other directly, without the use of a traditional access point. Ad-hoc mode is an
IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework also referred to as "peer-to-peer" mode or an
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the access point.
SSID
The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It
is also referred to as the "Network Name".
The SSID is set in Basic Settings. (See Chapter 5: "Configuring Basic Settings") or in Manage > Wireless Set-
tings (see Chapter 13: "Setting The Wireless Interface".)
A Guest network and an Internal network running on the same access point must always have two different net-
work names.
Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
Privacy
• Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to "None" mode (no security).
• On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
Security is configured on the AP from the Security tab page. For more information on security settings, see
Chapter 10: "Configuring Security".
Indicates whether WPA security is On or Off" or this access point.
WPA
This indicates the IEEE 802.11 mode being used on this access point. (For example, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE
Band
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.
