Chapter 9 Checking the Wireless Signal Quality and Strength

Parameter

Meaning

Connection status

Signal strength (dBm), link speed (Mbps), and signal quality (%) are
displayed in one-minute intervals on a real-time graph.

Usage status by channel

The 11b/11g display shows usage in the 2.4 GHz band channels 1
to 11.

Colors are used to indicate the signal strength of the access point. Colors closer to red indicate an
access point with a stronger signal strength, and colors closer to blue indicate an access point with a
weaker signal strength.
