Signal Quality
A radio frequency (RF) signal can be assessed by two components:
● signal strength (quantity)
● signal quality
The quality of the signal is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily it
is composed of signal strength and the ratio of the RF noise present. RF noise
occurs both naturally and artificially by electrical equipment. If the amount of
the RF noise is high, or the signal strength is low, it results in a lower signal to
noise ratio which causes poorer signal quality. With a low signal to noise ratio,
it is difficult for the radio receiver to discern the data information contained in
the signal from the noise itself.
Signal Strength
The signal strength for all received packets. The more green bars displayed, the
stronger the signal.
Adapter MAC
Address
Media Access Control (MAC) address for the wireless adapter.
