4. Statistics Tab
The Statistics tab is used to monitor TX and RX traffic of the wireless network.
It also offers the detailed information on error wireless packets that the other
wireless LAN device transmits and receives. Each time users switch to this page
will trigger the statistics to start counting from zero. Users can press “Reset” button
if they want to restart the counter again. If users want to temporarily freeze the
current showing counters, they can press “Pause” button to do that easily. The
