4.3.6 Real Wave Labels
There are several additional items you can display alongside the SSID, including the Channel Number, Broadcast Type,
and MAC Address.
When to use the MAC ADDRESS option
When working in a campus environment, there will often be multiple Access Points (APs) that are broadcasting the
same SSID. (Imagine being at The Hotel LaGrande, and there is WiFi throughout the enormous, 20-story building. This
hotel could have a hundred APs, and all those APs would be broadcasting just one SSID – LaGrande_WiFi.) In order to
troubleshoot a specific Access Point, you must determine what the MAC Address is of that AP since the MAC Address
is the only unique identifier for an Access Point.
4.3.7 Interference Filters
Interference Filters will help you to see your target AP even in a heavily saturated wireless environment.
