My question is, when I fire up Kwifimanager I get info about the second AP but I want to get trough to the AP connected to the aerial to put in some filters and see the signal strengths and connection speed. What can I use to do this, I prefer a GUI but if nothing else I can use the CLI. I'm using 9.2.
I think the iwlist scanning command provides this information (as long as your network card is connected and there are active APs in range). Are you looking for more? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Mike. This is information Kwifimanager gives me as well, and is info between the access point and the computer. But I want to go into the first one , info between access point and ISP, to set some filters. Like the mac address from my computer, as the only address what is allowed to connect ( security). I spoke to somebody who has the same sort of setup on Windows and he mentioned something about SNMP, but I'm lost here. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

It sounds like you're looking for the admin utility for your access point (AP), which is hardware specific, and generally not Linux related. (Unless you have a Linux gateway with some AP hardware with which I'm not familiar.) The three APs that I've worked with have a Web-based interface that you can open by pointing your browser to its IP address. The default is often 192.168.0.1. Unless you've changed them, consult your AP docs for any username and password. Mike
