Network

This chapter describes how you can monitor the access point and the network.

The chapter includes the following sections:

•

Display the access point Internet, IP, and system settings

•

Display the WiFi radio settings

•

Display unknown and known neighbor access points

•

Display client distribution, connected clients, and client trends

•

View WiFi and Ethernet traffic, traffic and ARP statistics, and channel utilization

•

View or download tracked URLs

•

View, save, download, or clear the logs

•

View a WiFi bridge connection

•

Note: In this manual,

WiFi network

means the same as SSID (service set identifier or

WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network
we mean an individual SSID or VAP.
