let's break this down:

BSSID

Is the MAC Address of the Network

PWR

Is the signal strenght or power. The higher the number, the better signal we have

Beacons

Are the frames send from the Network to broadcast it's existance. Every Network, even if it's hidden, sends this frames to tell the wireless devices that it exists and it's MAC Address, it's channel, it's encryption and it's name

Data

This are the data packages or data frames. They are the packages which get interesting when it comes to wireless hacking

#/s

Are the packages which were collected the last 10 seconds

CH

MB

ENC

Is the Encryption used

CIPHER

Cipher used in the Network

Auth

is the authentications used in this network. For example PSK (Pre shared key) or MGT

ESSID

Don't worry just jet about ENC, CIPHER and Auth just yet, it will be a part in the gaining Access part of this Wiki
