AP MAC Address

MAC Address of the managed AP to which the client authenticated. This field

can show the MAC address of the last ten APs to which the client has roamed

and authenticated.

Ad Hoc Clients

This window is used to display the ad hoc clients. An ad hoc client is a wireless client that gains access to the

WLAN through a wireless client that is associated with an access point. The ad hoc client does not communicate

directly with the AP. Ad hoc networks are a particular concern because they consume RF bandwidth and can

present a security risk.
