occasionally be lost or delayed. This can be due to the variation in radio signal streng
that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path.

following data is provided.

.

- IP Address - The IP address of the client.

- IP Type – This indicates "DHCP" if the IP address was allocated by the DHCP

Server in this MiFi 2200. If “ARP” is displayed, then the client was discovered
