You can use the Associated Clients page to view the client stations associated with a particular access point.
To show the Associated Clients page, select Status and Statistics > Associated Clients.
The associated stations are shown along with information about packet traffic transmitted and received for each station.
• Total Number of Associated Clients—The total number of clients currently associated with the AP.
• Network Interface—The VAP the client is associated with. WLAN0 and WLAN1 precede the VAP interface name to indicate the radio interface (WLAN0 represents radio 1 and WLAN1 represents radio 2).
• Station—The MAC address of the associated wireless client.
• Status—The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is present no matter which type of security the client uses to connect to the WAP device. This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status.
These are some points to consider in regard to this field:
– If the WAP device security mode is None or Static WEP, the authentication and association status of clients appears as expected; that is, if a client shows as authenticated to the WAP device, it is able to transmit and receive data. (The reason why is that Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
– If the WAP device uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, it is possible for a client association to appear as authenticated (through IEEE 802.11 security) although it is not actually authenticated through the second layer of security.
• From Station/To Station—For the From Station, the counters indicate the packets or bytes transmitted by the wireless client. For the To Station, the counters indicate the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the WAP device to the wireless client.
– Packets—Number of packets received (transmitted) from the wireless client.
– Bytes—Number of bytes received (transmitted) from the wireless client.
– Drop Packets—Number of packets dropped after being received (transmitted).
– Drop Bytes—Number of bytes that dropped after being received (transmitted).
– TS Violate Packets (From Station)—Number of packets sent from a client STA to the WAP device in excess of its active Traffic Stream (TS) uplink bandwidth, or for an access category requiring admission control to which the client STA has not been admitted.
– TS Violate Packets (To Station)—Number of packets sent from the WAP device to a client STA in excess of its active TS downlink bandwidth, or for an access category requiring admission control to which the client STA has not been admitted.
• Up Time—The amount of time the client has been associated with the WAP device.
