Wireless Status

The Wireless Status page at Status > Wireless Status displays a list of access points within range of the wireless radio along with various statistics about the access points detected.

If a wireless card is acting as an access point the page prints a list of associated clients along with related information.

Note

This page is only available when a wireless interface is detected in the firewall and that interface is enabled.
