The WLAN USB module has not found any network with which is able to
associate.
Current Tx Rate
This feature indicates the transmission rate of the current connection.
Current Channel
Here reveals the current channel operated in the wireless network. Note that the channel
number differs as the radio scans any available channels in the Infrastructure mode.
Throughput (bytes/sec)
This feature indicates the rates of transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) data of your Wireless
802.11g/b USB Module within a short period of time; thus, the values vary on a time basis.
Link Quality
Link Quality is based on the percentage of successfully transmitted or received signals of the
associated access point beacon within a limited period. The higher the percentage, the better
the link quality. The bar graph aside also provides a visual interpretation of the current link
quality. It is noted that the Link Quality and Signal Strength features only apply to the
Infrastructure mode. They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred
from many different computers.
Signal Strength
You may learn the received signal strength measurement of the baseband processor of the
Beacon signal from the Signal Strength bar aside, and it’s also presented in terms of
percentage. As the signal gets stronger, the signal percentage rate gets higher. It is noted that
the Signal Strength and Link Quality features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. They are
inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different computers.
The Configuration Tab
Click this tab to edit different profiles for different network configurations. When finish changing the

Configuration Tool tray icon will launch this tab too.
