To use the access point as an SNTP server: Select SNTP Server Disable, specify time values in the spaces provided, select the time zone from the pull-down list. If you select Enable Daylight Saving, the time adjusts automatically for standard and daylight savings time. When the SNTP Server setting is disabled, date and time settings revert to the defaults after an access point is reset, affecting the accuracy of log reports. To avoid this situation, enable the SNTP server setting and allow the access point to obtain the date and time from an SNTP server. (The event log page displays the default time after a reset until the access point receives the correct information from the SNTP server.)

-Red indicates a low signal (below 20%)
-Yellow indicates a medium signal (20% to 60%)
-Blue represents a high signal (60% to 100%)
RSSI Value—The numerical percentage value of the signal strength. Higher percentage means a stronger signal.
Operation Mode—Displays the type of radio mode the station is operating in (11a, 11g, turbo a, turbo g).
