WLAN Station Status
WLAN Station Status Overview
Click System Monitor > WLAN Station Status to open the following screen. Use this screen to view information and status of the Wi-Fi stations (Wi-Fi clients) that are currently associated with the Zyxel Device. Being associated means that a Wi-Fi client (for example, your computer with a Wi-Fi network card installed) has connected successfully to an AP (or Wi-Fi router) using the same SSID, channel, and Wi-Fi security settings.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Label | Description |
|---|---|
Refresh Interval | Select how often you want the Zyxel Device to update this screen. |
# | This is the index number of an associated Wi-Fi station. |
MAC Address | This field displays the MAC address of an associated Wi-Fi station. |
Rate (Mbps) | This field displays the transmission rate of Wi-Fi traffic between an associated Wi-Fi station and the Zyxel Device. |
RSSI (dBm) | The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) field shows the Wi-Fi signal strength of the station’s Wi-Fi connection. The normal range is –30dBm to –79dBm. If the value drops below –80dBm, try moving the associated Wi-Fi station closer to the Zyxel Device to get better signal strength. |
SNR | The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is the ratio between the received signal power and the received noise power. The greater the number, the better the quality of Wi-Fi. The normal range is 15 to 40. If the value drops below 15, try moving the associated Wi-Fi station closer to the Zyxel Device to get better quality Wi-Fi. |
Level | This field displays a number which represents the strength of the Wi-Fi signal between an associated Wi-Fi station and the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device uses the RSSI and SNR values to determine the strength of the Wi-Fi signal. 5 means the Zyxel Device is receiving an excellent Wi-Fi signal. 4 means the Zyxel Device is receiving a very good Wi-Fi signal. 3 means the Zyxel Device is receiving a weak Wi-Fi signal, 2 means the Zyxel Device is receiving a very weak Wi-Fi signal. 1 means the Zyxel Device is not receiving a Wi-Fi signal. |
Channel | This field displays the wireless channel bandwidth of an associated Wi-Fi station. |
Connection Uptime | This field displays the connection duration of the client devices currently linked to the Zyxel Device. |
