into a wireless Monitor. A "Rouge AP" is an Access Point
which should not be in use, and so can be considered to be
providing unauthorized access to your LAN.

curity disabled is considered to be a Rogue AP.

in the "Legal AP List" is considered to be a Rogue AP. If
checked, you must maintain the Legal AP List.

where you can modify the "Legal AP List". This list must
