The clients connected to a particular AP can be viewed by using the Status Button on
the List of Available Access Points. Traffic statistics ar e shown for that individual
AP, as compared to the summary stats for each AP on the Statistics table. Connected
clients are sorted by the MAC address and indicate the security parameters used by
the wireless link, as well as the time connected to this part icular AP. Clicking the
Details button next to the connected client will give the detailed send and receive
traffic statistics for the wireless link between this AP and the client.
4.3.1 Primary benefits of Virtual APs:
Optimize throughput: if 802.11b, 802.11 g, and 802.11n clients are expected
to access the LAN via this router, creating 3 VAPs will allow you to manage
or shape traffic for each group of clients. A unique SSID can be created for
the network of 802.11b clients and another SSID can be assigned for the
802.11n clients. Each can have different security parameters – remember,
the SSID and security of the link is determined by the profile. In this way
legacy clients can access the network without bringing down the overall
throughput of more capable 802.11n clients.
Optimize security: you may wish to support select legacy clients that only
offer WEP security while using WPA2 security for the majority of clients
for the radio. By creating two VAPs configured with different SSIDs and
different security parameters, both types of clients can connect to the LAN.
Since WPA2 is more secure, you may want to broadcast this SSID and not
