Option Description
BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic
Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is
the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point); and in
Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.
Associated Lists all the stations that are associated with the Access Point, along
with the amount of time since packets were transferred to and from each
station. If a station is idle for too long, it is removed from this list.
Authorized Lists those devices with authorized access.
