Site Survey
When Site Survey screen is displayed, the channel quality of all 14 radio channels will be
displayed. These channel quality measurements are shown on each gauge for the 14 radio
channels. The
higher
bar means the radio channel having
better
quality (i.e., less
interference).
The channel quality is scanned channel-by-channel repeatedly. You may see some of the
gauges changing their height occasionally. To determine the channel quality in a longer
time span, you can refer to the average channel quality measurement from the small-shaped
dot in each channel quality gauge.
