Signal Strength The status bar shows the strength of the signal. The signal strength mainly
depends on the antenna output power and the distance between your NWD271N
and the AP or peer computer.
Link Quality The status bar shows the quality of wireless connection. This refers to the
percentage of packets transmitted successfully. If there are too many wireless
stations in a wireless network, collisions may occur which could result in a loss of
messages even though you have high signal strength.
