Signal Quality Displays information about the quality of the signal.
RTS Threshold Packets to be transmitted that are greater than or equal
to the threshold setting will cause the radio to use
RTS/CTS handshaking prior to transmission.
Setting this parameter to a small value causes RTS
packets to be sent more often, consuming more
available bandwidth, therefore reducing the apparent
throughput of other network packets. However, the
more often RTS packets are sent, the more quickly the
system can recover from interference or collisions
