|
Band | This indicates the IEEE 802.11 mode being used on this access point. (For example, IEEE |
| 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.) |
| The number shown indicates the mode according to the following map: |
| ∙ 2.4 indicates IEEE 802.11b mode or IEEE 802.11g mode |
| ∙ 5 indicates IEEE 802.11a mode |

|
Channel | Shows the channel on which the access point is currently broadcasting. |
| The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for |
| transmitting and receiving. |
| The channel is set in Radio Settings. (See “Configuring Radio Settings”.) |
|
|
Rate | Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this access point is currently |
| transmitting. |
| The current rate will always be one of the rates shown in Supported Rates. |

|
Rates | Shows supported and basic (advertised) rate sets for the neighboring access point. Rates |
| are shown in megabits per second (Mbps). |
| All Supported Rates are listed, with Basic Rates shown in bold. |
