its data rate.
● Poor channel quality: The quality of the channel is low and caused the
adapter to look for another access point.
● AP dropped mobile unit: The access point dropped a computer from the
list of recognizable mobile devices. The computer must re-associate with an
access point.
Miscellaneous: Use this information to determine if an association with a different
access point increases performance and helps maintain the highest possible data rate.
● Received Beacons: Number beacons received by the adapter.
● Percent missed Beacons: Percent value for missed beacons.
● Percent transmit errors: The percentage of data transmissions that had
errors.
● Signal Strength: Signal strength of the access point that the adapter
communicates with displayed in decibels (dBm).
Transmit/Receive (Tx/
Rx) Statistics Displays percent values for non-directed and directed packets.
Total host packets: The sum total number of directed and non-directed packets counts.
● Transmit - (Mbps)
● Receive - (Mbps)
Non-directed packets: The number of received packets broadcast to the wireless
network.
Directed packets: The number of received packets sent specifically to the wireless
adapter.
Total Bytes: The total number of bytes for packets received and sent by the wireless
adapter.
