Current Channel — This is the radio channel through which the access point
communicates to PCs in its BSS (Default: 11). A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of
a group of wireless PCs and an access point that is directly connected to the wired
LAN. To establish an ad hoc network, make sure that Current Channel is set to the
same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your groups.
However, if you are connecting to a network via an access point, the adapter will
automatically set itself to the same channel as that used by the access point.
Throughput (bytes/sec) — Rx/Tx fragments signifies the current total number of
Rx/Tx packets.
Link Quality — Shows the relative link quality (e.g., lack of frame errors) of the
wireless connection to the access point.
Signal Strength — Shows the relative strength of the wireless connection to the
access point.
