Viewing the Available Wireless Station List
The Available Wireless Station List contains a table of all IP devices associated with the wireless
access point for the Wired Network Name (SSID)
From the WG302v2 main menu, under the Information heading, click Available Wireless Station
List to view the list.
For each device, the Available Wireless Station List table shows the Station ID, MAC address, IP
Address, and Status (whether the device is allowed to communicate with the wireless access point
or not).

Note:
A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points that use the same
network name (SSID). This extends the reach of the wireless network. Users can
roam from one access point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. If
this is the case, only the stations associated with this access point are shown in the
Available Station List.
