	LABEL	DESCRIPTION

	Trend Chart	Click this button to display the real-time statistics of the data rate in kilobits per
		second (Kbps).
	Signal Strength	The status bar shows the strength of the signal. The signal strength mainly
		depends on the antenna output power and the distance between your NWD-370N
		and the AP or peer computer.
	Link Quality	The status bar shows the quality of wireless connection. This refers to the
		percentage of packets transmitted successfully. If there are too many wireless
		stations in a wireless network, collisions may occur which could result in a loss of
		messages even though you have high signal strength.
