finding an Access point.
Tx / Rx Rate Information
This displays the instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput in
bytes per second. These values are updated every two seconds.
Link Quality / Signal Strength
The Link Quality and Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is
in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph displays the quality and strength of the
link between the node and its Access Point. A label summarizes the quality of
the Link over the bar graph, which can take on one of the following values:
“Not Applicable”
“Poor”
“Fair”
“Good”
“Excellent”
The driver will start looking for a better Access Point if the Link Quality
becomes “Poor”. Link Quality is a measurement of receiving and transmitting
errors over the radio.
