Edimax Technology EW-7318Ug Network Card User Manual


 
27
Here are descriptions of every setup item:
SSID: The Service Set Identifier of wireless access
point or other network device. You can think it
as the name of access point of wireless device.
BSSID: The MAC address of wireless access point or
other network device. Unlike SSID, BSSID of
every access point or network device is unique,
and will not be the same with others. So you
can identify a single access point or wireless
device from others by BSSID, if they all have
the same SSID.
Signal: Shows the signal strength of access point or
wireless device. Larger number means better
radio strength, which often means you’re not
too far from that access point or wireless
device.
Channel: Shows the channel number that access point or
wireless device uses.
Encryption: Shows the encryption method that access point
or wireless device uses. If the wireless access
point does not enable encryption, you’ll see
‘None’ displayed here.
Authentication: Shows the authentication mode that access
point or wireless device uses. If the wireless
access point does not require authentication,
you’ll see ‘Unknown’ displayed here.
