The WLANmonitor sorts all of the access points found into predefined subgroups under 'Rogue AP Detection' while displaying the following information:
- Time of first and last detection
- BSSID, the MAC addresse of the AP for this WLAN network
- Network name
- Type of encryption used
- Frequency band used
- Radio channel used
- Use of 108Mbps mode
Note: To use rogue AP detection, background scanning has to be activated in the LANCOM Wireless
Router.
The WLANmonitor uses the following groups for sorting the APs that are found:
- All APs: List of all scanned WLAN networks grouped as follows
- New APs: New unknown and unconfigured WLAN networks are automatically grouped here (APs displayed in yellow)
- Rogue APs: WLAN networks identified as rogue and in need of urgent observation (APs displayed in red)
- Unknown APs: WLAN networks which are to be further analyzed (APs displayed in gray)
- Known APs: WLAN networks which are not a threat (APs displayed in gray)
- Own APs: New affiliated WLAN networks from access points monitored by WLANmonitor are automatically grouped here (APs displayed in green)
The WLANs that have been found can be placed into a corresponding group depending on their status. You can set up your own network groups within the individual groups by using the context menu (right mouse button) (except for the group 'All APs').
Note: If a parameter is changed on an AP, e.g. the security settings, then it is displayed again
as a newly discovered AP.
