Display the CPU, SSID, and LAN traffic loads
You can display the CPU, SSID, and LAN traffic loads on the access point.
To display the CPU, SSID, and LAN traffic loads:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point on
page 33. For more information about the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, see 2.4 GHz
management SSID on page 58.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after you complete the initial
log-in process on page 35.
3. Enter the access point local device password and click the Login button.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Device Status page displays.
4. Under Overview, select Realtime.
The page that displays shows the CPU load, that is, by default, the Load tab is
selected.
The page displays the current, average, and peak CPU traffic load, each of which is
expressed in a percentage, is updated every three seconds, and covers a maximum
period of three minutes.
5. Select the Traffic tab.
The page displays a tab for each active SSID and for the LAN.
If only one SSID is active, the traffic information for the SSID displays (see the
information in the next step).
6. To display the traffic information for an SSID, select the tab for the SSID.
The page displays traffic information for the SSID.
For each radio band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), a graph displays the traffic load, which is
updated every three seconds and covers a maximum period of three minutes.
