Link Quality
Link Quality
is based on the percentage of successfully transmitted or received signal of the
associated access point beacon within a limited period. The higher the percentage, the better the
link quality. The bar graph beside also provides a visual interpretation of the current link quality. It is
noted that the
Link Quality
and
Signal Strength
features only apply to the Infrastructure mode.
They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different
computers.
Signal Strength
You may learn the received signal strength of the baseband processor of the beacon signal from the
Signal Strength
bar beside, and it’s also presented in terms of percentage. As the signal gets
stronger, the signal percentage rate gets higher. It is noted that the
Signal Strength
and
Link
Quality
features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode
since data will be transferred from many different computers.
