>From the site:

*How are “wireless sessions” defined? *

A session is counted each time a device connects to the wireless network.
Specifically, the agent probes every IP in the subnet every 5 minutes
making a list of the MAC addresses it sees. That list is uploaded to Who’s
On My Wifi’s servers to store and report the statistics. When the agent
finds a new MAC it counts a session as starting, when a MAC disappears it
counts a session as ending. Wireless sessions should be reported with a
reconnect tolerance of one hour. This means if a device is seen in the
morning and not seen for over an hour and reconnects in the evening it is
reported as two sessions.
