What You Can Learn About Your Network

What unauthorized or unknown
access points are connected to my Wi-
Fi network?
Are they a security risk?
The Rogue Access Points test, an optional part of AutoTest, indicates whether
unauthorized or unknown access points are detected with a rating of
Pass,
Warning, or Fail grading. Results include a list of all rogue access points
heard at your location. Identification of rogue access points requires
configuration of an Access Control List (ACL). ACL configuration is available
from the AutoTest screen by selecting Rogue Access Points > ACL or Home>
Access Points > ACL.
By default, the Rogue Access Point test is not enabled. To enable the test and
allow it to run as part of AutoTest, select Tools > Thresholds / AutoTest Settings
> Rogue Access Point AutoTest.
