Here are descriptions of every fields:
SSID: The Service Set IDentifier of wireless access point or other network device. You can think it as the
name of access point of wireless device.
BSSID: The MAC address of wireless access point or other network device. Unlike SSID, BSSID of every
access point or network device is unique, and will not be the same with others. So you can identify a
single access point or wireless device from others by BSSID, if they all have the same SSID.
Signal: Shows the signal strength of access point or wireless device. Larger number means better radio
strength, which often means you’re not too far from that access point or wireless device.
Channel: Shows the channel number that access point or wireless device uses.
Encryption: Shows the encryption method that access point or wireless device uses. If the wireless
access point does not enable encryption, you’ll see ‘None’ displayed here.
Tips:
Wireless access point (Infrastructure) is a network device which
acts as a bridge, to let wired and wireless network devices
communicate with each other.
AdHoc is another connection type. A computer or network device
can build a direct wireless link with other computer or network
device directly, without the help of wireless access point.
