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 AG-220 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.
