Shows the MAC address of the detected access point. Shows the Beacon interval of another access point. Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to announce their existence on the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second). The Beacon Interval for your access point is set on the Wireless > Advanced Settings page. (See Modifying Advanced Settings, page 79.) Type Indicates the type of device: • AP indicates the detected device is an access point that supports the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework in Infrastructure Mode. • Ad hoc designation indicates a neighboring station running in ad hoc mode. Stations set to ad hoc mode communicate with each other directly, without the use of a traditional access point. Ad-hoc mode is an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
