Link Quality
Link Quality is based on the percentage of successfully transmitted or received signal of the
associated access point beacon within a limited period. The higher the percentage, the better the
link quality. The bar graph beside also provides a visual interpretation of the current link quality. It
is note that the Link Quality and Signal Strength features only apply to the infrastructure mode.
They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different
computers.
Signal Strength
You may learn the received signal strength of the baseband processor of the Beacon signal from
the Signal Strength bar beside, and it’s also presented in terms of percentage. As the signal gets
stronger, you will see the signal percentage rate gets higher. It is noted that the Signal Strength
and Link Quality features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. They are inapplicable in the
Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different computers.
