WLAN Connected Status:
MAC Address:
displays the MAC address of the current active WLAN card.
displays the received wireless signal level of opposite connected
device.
TX Rate and RX Rate:
displays the current 802.11 data transmission (TX) and data
reception (RX) rate while operating in Station mode. Typically, the higher the signal, the
higher the data rate and consequently the higher the data throughput.
Channel Width: HT20 indicates established connection is 20MHz channel width
HT40+ indicates established connection is 40MHz channel width
WLAN Local AP Statistics:
Bytes transmitted/received value represents the total amount of data (in bytes)
transmitted and received during the connection;
WLAN Local AP Errors:
section displays the counters of 802.11 specific errors which
were registered on wireless interface:
Rx invalid NWID
value represents the number of packets received with a different NWID
or ESSID - packets which were destined for another access point. It can help to detect
configuration problems or identify the adjacent wireless network existence on the same
frequency.
Rx Invalid Crypt
value represents the number of transmitted and received packets which
were encrypted with the wrong encryption key and failed the decryption routines. It can be
used to detect invalid wireless security settings and encryption break attempts.
Rx Invalid Frag
value represents the number of packets missed during transmission and
reception. These packets were dropped due to re-assembling failure as some link layer
fragments of the packet were lost.
Tx Excessive Retries
value represents the number of packets which failed to be
delivered to the destination. Undelivered packet are retransmitted a number of times
before an error occurs.
Missed beacons
value represents the number beacons (management packets sent at
regular intervals by the Access Point) which were missed by the client. This can indicate
that the wireless client is out of range.
Other errors
value represents the total number of transmitted and received packets that
were lost or discarded for other reasons.
