Throughput (Byte/sec)

shows transmission/receiving data rate.

Link Quality

shows measured radio link quality. If the link quality is bad, your computer

may not communicate with other client computers. Otherwise (fair/good/excellent),

there will be no problems in communicating with other clients.

Signal Strength

is almost similar to Link Quality information except for a slight

difference.

Usually, the quality level moves simultaneous with the Link Quality level.

Mode

: You can select wireless LAN network mode – Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode

Infrastructure Mode

This mode is used to set up a connection to a wired Ethernet network. This mode

requires an ezWAVE Access Point to gain access to the wired network.

Ad Hoc Mode

This mode is used to set up a small, temporary network between two or more

computers. For example, you might set up an ad hoc network between computers in a

conference room so users can share information in a meeting.
