User's Manual

The driver will start looking for a better Access Point if the Link Quality becomes “Poor”.  Link Quality

is a measure of receive and transmit errors over the radio.

Signal Strength

     The Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar
     graph displays normalized signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over
    100 bytes long that are received from the Access Point.
