Viewing the Status of your Wireless Connection
The quality of the connection (signal strength and noise) of the particular network you are connected to is indicated by the horizontal bars and the decibel level values that are displayed at the bottom of the Link Status tab in the Wireless Configuration Utility.
The signal strength is also indicated by the appearance of the 
icon in the system tray. The description of the signal strength appears when you hover the cursor over the icon.
The table below shows the signal strength and suggested action for improving the signal for each icon image that may be displayed. If the signal strength indications are anything other than very good or excellent, you should take the appropriate suggested action.
A fully green icon indicates that the signal strength is very good or excellent.
A partially green icon indicates that the signal is good or low.
Suggested action: Move closer to the access point.
