Guide:
Other APs using same SSID (e.g. Mesh network):
When there are more than one access points using the same SSID. This can be seen in mesh networks, as well as in networks with roaming enabled.
Other APs using same channel (shares bandwidth):
Highlighted in green if 0-2 other SSIDs are using the same channel.
Highlighted in yellow if more than 2 other SSIDS are using the same channel.
Other AP with channel conflict:
Highlighted in green if no other SSIDSs are conflicting (overlapping with the product's channel).
Highlighted in red if 1 or more other SSIDs conflict (overlap) with the product's channel.
SSID table:
Entry highlighted in grey horizontal line:
The product uses this SSID and connects to the shown channel. The signal strength is shown to the far right.
Channel column: (all table entries)
Red: Marks conflicting entries on the 2.4 GHz band that are overlapping the product's channel
Orange: Marks entries for 2.4 GHz channels that are not running on one of the recommended channels 1, 6 or 11
Yellow: Marks non-conflicting entries on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands that share 1 or multiple channels with the product
Strength Column: (only relevant for entry matching the channel the product is on)
Red: Bad signal strength
Yellow: Medium signal strength (may cause periodic dropouts)
Green: Good signal strength
