Rogue detection

WLANmonitor enables you to detect so-called "rogue access points (APs)" and "rogue clients" in your network. WLAN devices that make unauthorized attempts at accessing a WLAN by posing as an access point or client are called rogues.

Unidentified access points within the range of the local network frequently pose a possible threat and security gap. At the very least they are a disturbance, and so they need to be identified to decide whether further measures in securing the local network need to be introduced. Information about the clients within range of your network is automatically stored to an internal table in the access point. Once activated, background scans record neighboring access points and list them to the scan table. Also see the chapter Enabling background scans for access points.

WLANmonitor conveniently processes this information by dividing the access points and clients into categories such as 'Known', 'Unknown' or 'Rogue'.
