What does the AP do in SE-Connect Mode?

In SE-Connect Mode, the access point (AP) is primarily focused on performing spectrum analysis. This mode enables the AP to analyze the radio frequency environment and identify various wireless signals and their characteristics. By examining the spectrum, the AP can help in understanding factors such as channel utilization, interference from other wireless devices, and noise during the operation of wireless networks.

The ability to conduct spectrum analysis is crucial for network administrators seeking to optimize a wireless LAN. By assessing the spectrum, they can make informed decisions about channel assignments and placements of APs to enhance the overall wireless performance and minimize the impact of interference.

While detecting rogue AP signals, transmitting data between clients, and acting as a sniffer for Wi-Fi frames are important functions of network security and monitoring, those functionalities are not the primary focus of SE-Connect Mode. This mode specifically emphasizes the analysis of airwaves, which is vital for maintaining an optimal network environment.
