Configuration Program Controls

Current Tx Rate:

This feature indicates the transmission rate of the current connection.

Current Channel:

Here reveals the current channel operated in the wireless network. Note that the channel number differs as the radio scans any available channels in the Infrastructure mode.

Throughout (bytes/sec):

This feature indicates the rates of transmit- ting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) data of your Wireless-G USB 2.0 Flex Adaptor within a short period of time; thus, the values vary on a time basis.

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.

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, the signal percentage rate gets higher.

Note: Signal Strength and Link Quality features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. Not applicable to Ad-Hoc mode.
