Illegal Channel
: Detects WiFi channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band that are not authorized for the country
selected in the Setup menu (see
). For example, if the United States is selected in the Setup menu, channels
12, 13 and 14 are not authorized by the FCC. Therefore if the Illegal Channel test detects an AP configured on one of
these channels, it will be flagged as an error.
Encryption
: Detects APs that do not have encryption enabled or is using WEP. WEP is a weak security mechanism and
shouldn’t be used. Note that if AP Filter is enabled (see
), only APs selected in the filter list are taken into
account for this test.
Hidden AP
: Occasionally, network managers prefer to hide the AP’s SSID for security reasons. In that instance, a blank
SSID name or “[hidden]” is displayed instead. The Hidden AP test displays a warning for all Hidden APs detected in the
network.
