Site Survey

In Ethernet Adapter mode, the Site Survey scans and shows all
IEEE 802.11b wireless devices within the adapter’s signal range.
You can choose one of them to connect to by clicking on an
(B)SSID entry.

BSSID : Basic Service Set ID. The MAC address of the access
point to which the adapter is connected in an infrastructure
network. In an ad hoc network, the BSS ID is a random number
generated by the first adapter that communicates with other
clients in the network. The BSS ID of the other clients will then be
set to the same value.

Channel : The radio channel on which the access point operates.
