Connection Utility Page (Cont.)
Signal Strength This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
Excellent).
SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but the
link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However, if signal
strength is low and link quality is low the cause would simply be signal strength.
Connection Statistics
