BSSID information
Each row represents a BSSID. A BSSID is a unique MAC address for each network and radio combination that an AP broadcasts.| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Radio | The radio used to scan for the BSSID (2.4/5 GHz, or Scanning) |
| SSID | The SSID broadcasting for this BSSID |
| BSSID | The unique BSSID MAC address |
| Broadcasting device | Which AP in the network is broadcasting this BSSID |
| Band | The band of the BSSID |
| Channel | The channel used by the BSSID |
| Channel width | The channel width of the BSSID |
| dBm | The BSSID power level seen by the AP |
| Observed at | The most recent timestamp the AP observed the BSSID |
Signal strength indicators
| Level | dBm range |
|---|---|
| Low | < -85 dBm |
| Medium | -85 dBm to -75 dBm |
| High (Red) | > -75 dBm |
What to look for
Potential interference
BSSIDs on the same channel as the AP with higher signal strength can cause interference for clients on that AP. Meter defines higher signal strength as above -75 dBm or the red color.Need help?
