Viewing Associated Client Statistics

A wireless client can roam among APs without interruption in WLAN service. The D-Link Unified Switch tracks the traffic the

client sends and receives during the entire wireless session while the client roams among APs that the switch manages. The

switch stores statistics about client traffic while it is associated with a single AP as well as throughout the roaming session.

The statistics on the Association Summary page show information about the traffic a wireless client receives and transmits

while it is associated with a single AP.
