to APs detected through the RF scan.
•
MAC Address—The MAC address of the rogue AP.
•
Radio—Indicates whether the rogue AP is detected on Radio 1 (wlan0) or Radio 2
(wlan1).

Beacon Interval—The beacon interval used by the rogue AP.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an AP at regular intervals to announce the existence

-
Off indicates that the Security mode on the rogue device is set to None (no
security).

NOTE
You can use the
Networks
page to configure security on the AP.
