Hi,
using Groove Wireless Router (5Hn) (RouterOS 5.18)

A simple question:
when using the Freq. Usage scan (under Wireless Table) - what do the “Usage” numbers reported actually represent?

I have looked at the Wiki and there does not appear to be any definition.

Thanks

percent of usage on that channel

Also it must be mentioned frequency usage scan will only report back on 802.11 (+ NV2 for MT) devices and will not show any other RF devices using the band, for example you could have a video amplifier on say 2427 and scan will not show this.

Thanks to all who replied - makes sence.
maybe the window should be updated to “Usage %”, so it is clear :slight_smile:
