Data Encryption - The data encryption type that was negotiated with the access point (in infrastructure mode) or another client (in ad hoc mode) upon association.
Authentication Type - Specifies whether the client adapter must share the same WEP keys as the access point in order to authenticate or can authenticate to the access point regardless of its WEP settings.
Message Integrity Check - Indicates whether your client adapter is using message integrity check (MIC) to protect packets sent to and received from the access point.
MIC prevents
Associated AP Name - The name of the access point to which your client adapter is associated. It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure mode.
Note: This field shows up to 15 characters although the name of the access point may be longer.
Associated AP IP Address - The IP address of the access point to which your client adapter is associated. It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure mode.
Associated AP MAC Address - The MAC address of the access point to which your client adapter is associated. It is shown only if the client adapter is in infrastructure mode.
Power Save Mode - The client adapter's current power consumption setting. (CAM (Constantly Awake Mode), Max PSP (Max Power Saving), or Fast PSP (Power Save Mode))
Current Power Level - The power level at which your client adapter is currently transmitting. The maximum level is dependent upon the radio band used and your country's regulatory agency.
(10, 20, 30, 50, 63, or 100 mW (802.11b/g band)
Available Power Levels - The power levels at which your client adapter is capable of transmitting. The maximum level is dependent upon the radio band used and your country's regulatory agency. 10, 20, 30, 50, 63, or 100 mW (802.11b/g))
Current Signal Strength - The signal strength for all received packets. The higher the value, the stronger the signal. (0 to 100% or 0 to
Current Signal Quality - The signal quality for all received packets. The higher the value, the clearer the signal. (0 to 100%)
Current Noise Level - The level of background radio frequency energy in the current radio band. The lower the value, the less background noise present. (0 to
Up Time - The amount of time (in hours:minutes: seconds) since the client adapter has been receiving power. If the adapter has been running for more than 24 hours, the time is displayed in days, hours:minutes: seconds.
802.11b Preamble - Indicates whether your client adapter is using only long radio headers
