The following table describes the Wi-Fi parameters presented in the different screens:
Table 3-4 Details (Wi-Fi Setup) - Results
Result Description
SSID (Service Set Identifier) Network name, as configured in the wireless router.
MAC Address The hardware address of the physical interface at the wireless access point. This
should be a unique identifier of the hardware.
802.11 Type -
Security
The type of Wi-Fi network (b, g, n, or ac) and the type of security implemented, if
any (for example, WPA2).
Channel Number Channel used by the network, typically:
1 to 11 for channels in the 2.4 GHz spectrum (Wireless B or G)
36 to 165 for channels in the 5 GHz spectrum (Wireless N or AC)
Note that variances are possible based on the country of operation and applicable
regulations. A Wi-Fi connection is based on a single channel which you must have
correctly specified when attempting to connect.
Link Quality General signal quality, as a percentage. This value is based on the measured
signal strength using the following equation, if the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is
less than 18:
((<signal_dbm> + 110) / 70) * 100 – (3 * (18 - <snr>))
...otherwise:
((<signal_dbm> + 110) / 70) * 100
...where the value is clipped at 0 or 100 if necessary to remain within the logical 0-
100% range. Note that this value is subjective in nature and provides no positive
indication of whether you can successfully connect, or of the reliability or
throughput following a connection. In many respects, the concept is similar to the
signal strength icons that may appear on other Wi-Fi devices.
Signal Strength Signal power level in dBm.
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) Overall measured signal power level, in dBm.
Noise Measured noise level, in dBm.
SNR Signal-to-noise ratio of the signal, as the difference between the measured RSSI
and the measured noise.
Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
