encryption type does not match the desired scheme for the WLAN 
or needs to be enabled, see 
Num. Associated MUs Displays the total number of MUs currently associated with the 
WLAN. If this number seems excessive, consider segregating MU’s 
to other WLANs if appropriate.
Pkts per second
The 
Total 
column displays the average total packets per second 
crossing the selected WLAN. The 
Rx
 column displays the average 
total packets per second received on the selected WLAN. The
 Tx
 
column displays the average total packets per second sent on the 
selected WLAN. The number in black represents this statistic for 
the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents this statistic 
for the last hour. 
Throughput
The 
Total

 column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for a 
given time period on the selected WLAN.This includes all packets 
that are sent and received. The number in black represents 
statistics for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents 
statistics for the last hour. If the bit speed is significantly slower 
than the selected data rate, refer to the

 and 
Errors 
fields to troubleshoot. 
% Non-unicast pkts
Displays the percentage of the total packets that are non-unicast. 
Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multicast packets.The
