have moved the adapter outside the coverage area of the
access point or the access point's device address
information has been changed.
● AP load balancing: The access point ended its
association with the adapter based on the access point's
inability to maintain communication with all its associated
adapters. Too many adapters are trying to communicate
with one access point.
● AP RSSI too low: The Receive Signal Strength Indicator
(RSSI) is too low to maintain an association with the
adapter. You may have moved outside the coverage area
of the access point or the access point could have
increased its data rate.
● Poor channel quality: The quality of the channel is low
and caused the adapter to look for another access point.
● AP dropped mobile unit: The access point dropped a
computer from the list of recognizable mobile devices. The
computer must re-associate with an access point.
Miscellaneous: Use this information to determine if an
association with a different access point increases performance
and helps maintain the highest possible data rate.
● Received beacons: Number of beacons received by the
adapter.
● Percent missed beacons: Percent value for missed
beacons.
● Percent transmit errors: The percentage of data
transmissions that had errors.
● Signal Strength: Signal strength of the access point that
the adapter communicates with displayed in decibels
(dBm).
Transmit/Receive
(Tx/Rx) Statistics
Displays percent values for non-directed and directed packets.
Total host packets: The total number of directed and non-
directed packets counts.
● Transmit - (Mbps)
● Receive - (Mbps)
● Non-directed packets: The number of received packets
broadcast to the wireless network.
● Directed packets: The number of received packets sent
specifically to the WiFi adapter.
● Total Bytes: The total number of bytes for packets
