Label Description

Network Name Displays the name of the wireless network (SSID) broadcast

by the access point.

Security Mode Displays the encryption method used.

Mode Displays the mode of the wireless access point: Possible

modes are:

 Master – Communicates with associated wireless cards

that are in managed mode. Appears as a normal access

point with an SSID and channel. Network

communications, such as authentication, conflict, and

duplicate packets are managed by the wireless card.

 Managed – Communicates with an associated master,

not directly with another managed AP. Wireless cards

connect to the master network and change their channel

to match. The master must accept the credentials of the

managed network for it to be associated.

 Ad-hoc – Communicates directly with another wireless

network. Network cards must be in range and use the

same name and channel.

 Monitor – Communicates in observation mode and does

not transmit. Can be used for troubleshooting wireless

links or checking bandwidth usage in the area.

PHY Mode Displays the physical transceivers (PHY) layer method used.

RSSI Displays the received signal strength (RSSI) of the wireless

access points in range of the device. Lower negative numbers

(for example, -1 to -65) indicate the access point is closer.

Greater negative numbers (for example, -66 to -95) indicate

the access point is farther away.

Channel Displays the channel on which the wireless cable modem is

operating.

BSSID Displays the MAC address for the nearby wireless access

points.
