Professional Access Point

Description

Access points that are neighbours of one or more of the clustered APs are listed in the left column by SSID (Network Name).

An access point which is detected as a neighbour of a cluster member can also be a cluster member itself. Neighbours who are also cluster members are always shown at the top of the list with a heavy bar above the name and include a location indicator.

The coloured bars to the right of each AP in the Neighbors list shows the signal strength for each of the neighbour APs as detected by the cluster member whose IP address is shown at the top of the column:

This access point is a cluster member and can be seen by the AP whose IP address is 192.168.1.5 at a signal strength of 64...

... but it cannot be seen by the access point whose address is 192.168.1.4.

Dark Blue Bar - A dark blue bar and a high signal strength number (for example 50) indicates good signal strength from the neighbour as seen by the AP whose IP address is shown at the top of the column.

Lighter Blue Bar - A lighter blue bar and a lower signal strength number (for example 20 or lower) indicates medium or weak signal strength from the neighbour as seen by the AP whose IP address is shown at the top of the column.

White Bar - A white bar and the number 0 indicates that a neighbouring AP that was detected by one of the cluster members cannot be detected by the AP whose IP address is shown at the top of the column.

Light Gray Bar - A light gray bar and no signal strength number indicates a neighbour that is detected by other cluster members but not by the AP whose IP address is shown at the top of the column.

Dark Gray Bar - A dark gray bar and no signal strength number indicates this is the AP whose IP address is shown at the top of the column.
