Packets Received by
Zone
This screen, shown in Figure 3-45, presents a breakdown of wireless
packet statistics by-zone. All zones should report similar numbers. If
one or more zones report lower numbers than the others (2% reduction),
the specific zone is probably experiencing interference. An improve-
ment can be realized by blocking this zone (see
Main Menu>>Radio Config-
uration>>Skip Zone Option
).
