All of your network connection details are displayed on the Device Info page. The firmware version is also displayed here.

LAN Computers
This area of the screen continually updates to show all DHCP enabled computers and devices connected to the LAN side of your Access Point. The detection "range" is limited to the address range as configured in DHCP Server. Computers that have an address outside of this range will not show. If the DHCP Client (i.e. a computer configured to "Automatically obtain an address") supplies a Host Name then that will also be shown. Any computer or device that has a static IP address that lies within the detection "range" may show, however its host name will not.

The wireless section allows you to view the wireless clients that are connected to your wireless Access Point.

MAC Address
The Ethernet ID (MAC address) of the wireless client.
IP Address
The LAN-side IP address of the client.
Mode
The transmission standard being used by the client. Values are 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11ng respectively.
Rate
The actual transmission rate of the client in megabits per second.
Signal
This is a relative measure of signal quality. The value is expressed as a percentage of theoretical best quality. Signal quality can be reduced by distance, by interference from other radio-frequency sources (such as cordless telephones or neighboring wireless networks), and by obstacles between the Access Point and the wireless device.

The Statistics page displays all of the LAN and Wireless packet transmit and receive statistics.

Sent
The number of packets sent from the Access Point.
Received
The number of packets received by the Access Point.
TX Packets Dropped
The number of packets that were dropped while being sent, due to errors, collisions, or Access Point resource limitations.
RX Packets Dropped
The number of packets that were dropped while being received, due to errors, collisions, or Access Point resource limitations.
Collisions
The number of packets that were dropped due to Ethernet collisions (two or more devices attempting to use an Ethernet circuit at the same time).
Errors
The number of transmission failures that cause loss of a packet. A noisy radio-frequency environment can cause a high error rate on the wireless LAN.
