Client List
The Client List displays the specifications of each
device
connected
to
your
router,
including
Wireless
and
Wired
clients.
Wireless Clients.
For each device using a wireless
connection
to
your
MBR95,
the
following
information is displayed:
Hostname
,
IP
,
MAC
,
Connection
, and
Time Online
.
Wired Clients.
For each device using a wired
connection
to
your
MBR95,
the
following
information is displayed:
Hostname
,
IP
, and
MAC
.
Hostname:
The name by which each computer or device in a network is known.
IP:
The “IP address,” or “
Internet
Protocol address,”
specifies a location for each device.
MAC:
This is the "MAC address", a factory-assigned identifier used to identify a specific attached computer or device.
Connection:
Summary of the wireless connection. For example:
802.11n, 20 MHz, 130 Mbps, -26 dBm
802.11n:
The transmission standard being used by the client. Possible values include 802.11b, 802.11g, and
802.11n. 802.11n is the newest and best standard, but some older devices may not support it.
20 MHz:
This is the channel width that defines the theoretical data rate (in megahertz) that the attached computer
or device can send to or receive from the router. The channel width is set in
Network Settings
WiFi / Local
Networks
. Typically this will be 20 MHz, but 40 MHz is possible if the router is set to use two adjacent 20 MHz
channels. A wider channel can mean better performance, but not if there is too much interference. Even if 40 MHz
is set in the WiFi Channel Width, the router may still fall back to 20 MHz if interference is found.
130 Mbps:
The transmit rate (in megabits per second) currently used to transmit packets from the router to the
client. This rate changes automatically to match environmental conditions. Distance from the router, interference,
etc can impact this value. Higher values indicate better performance. Devices can still function in the network with
as little as 1 Mbps.

-26 dBm:
A relative measure of wireless signal quality (decibels relative to one milliwatt). This expresses
theoretical best quality. The value is given as a negative exponent: -20 is a very good value while -80 is relatively
poor. 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 router and the wireless
device.
Time Online:
Simply the amount of time the device has been connected to the router.
