System and Method for Detecting Access Points Transmitting Outside of the Regulated Frequency Range

摘要

A user device scans a list of one or more channels to detect a wireless access point (WAP) connected to a network. The scanned channels include those over which the WAP is permitted to transmit, as well as those over which the WAP is not permitted to transmit. The user device indicates to the user whenever it detects a WAP on a channel that the WAP is not allowed to transmit over.
