•
Channel—The channel on which the rogue AP is currently broadcasting.
The channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for
transmitting and receiving.
NOTE
You can use the
Radio
page to set the channel.
•
Rate—The rate in megabits per second at which the rogue AP is currently transmitting.
The current rate is always one of the rates shown in Supported Rates.
The reported rate is the speed of the last packet transmitted from the AP to the client.
This value can vary within the advertised rate set based on the signal quality between
the AP and client and the rate at which broadcast or multicast frames are sent. When
the AP sends a broadcast frame to a STA using the default rates, then the field will
report 1 Mbps for 2.4Ghz radios and 6 Mbps for 5 Ghz radios. Clients that are idle are
most likely to report the low default rates.
•
Signal—The strength of the radio signal emitting from the rogue AP. If you hover the
mouse pointer over the bars, a number representing the strength in decibels (dB)
appears.
•
Beacons—The total number of beacons received from the rogue AP since it was first
discovered.
•
Last Beacon—The date and time of the last beacon received from the rogue AP.
•
Rates—Supported and basic (advertised) rate sets for the rogue AP. Rates are shown in
megabits per second (Mbps).
All Supported Rates are listed, with Basic Rates shown in bold. Rate sets are
configured on the
Radio
page.
