Link Qua lit y
Link Quality is based on the percentage of successfully transmitted or received signal of the
associated access point beacon within a limited period. The higher the percentage, the better the
link quality. The bar graph beside 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.
Sign al St r en gth
You may learn the received signal strength of the baseband processor of the beacon signal from the
Signal Strength bar beside, 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.
