Trend Chart

Click this button to display the real-time statistics of the data rate in kilobits per

second (Kbps).

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 NWD-170N

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.
