Site Survey

Clicking Survey Site in the Wireless LAN Monitor window causes the “Survey Site” tab to appear.

In the tab’s text box, a list of all wireless networks the Adapter can detect appears, along with the particular network’s BSSID (MAC address), SSID name, signal strength, channel, encryption state, and BSS (type of connection [Infrastructure or Ad Hoc]).

Clicking Re-Scan causes the Adapter to refresh its list of detected networks.
