Reading Site Survey Results
The Survey Results status table summarizes the results of a site survey, including the SSIDs broadcast by other
devices, their configuration and capabilities. Note that the Site Survey function will only detect other Access Points.
Stations are passive, so will not beacon or show up in Site Survey results.
The table provides the following data per device found:
SSID - The wireless link name advertised by each detected AP.
●
Capability - Indicates which 802.11 (Wi-Fi technology standard) is support by the device. Options include A, G,
●
N, AC.
MAC Address - The device's unique identifier.
●
Vendor - The name of the device manufacturer (if known).
●
Wi-Fi Channel - Lists the channel on which the device operates.
●
Channel Width - The size (in MHz) of the channel on which the device operates.
●
Frequency Range - The specific frequency range (in MHz) within the Wi-Fi channel that the device operates.
●
Signal Strength - The received power level (in dBm) from each detected AP.
●
Note: The Site Survey will temporarily interrupt your link. Once started, this process cannot be stopped until
complete.
Use the Start Survey button to place the radio into the scan mode to search for 802.11-compatible access points.
The Last Updated field indicates (down to the second) when the last Site Survey was requested.
It is important to note that running a site survey will temporarily take down your link. Once activated, this process
cannot be stopped until complete. Please plan accordingly.
