When I go into WCS it shows me a chart oh how many people have connected on certain dates.

One bar on the graph is blue which means assoicated clients. It tells me I have 40.

The other bar is gold or yellow. It tells me I have 38.

We might have 2 people on a authenticated network who work in IT but the rest would be in the open ssid. We would not have 38 authenticated.

my question is why does it say authenticated when I know there are not that many people authenticated. What does it really mean?
