Link Test Statistics (continued)
Description
The percentage of beacon packets received versus those expected
to be received. The higher the value and the more green the bar
graph is, the better the quality of the signal.
Example:The access point sends out 10 beacons per second, so
you would expect the client adapter to receive 50 beacon packets
in 5 seconds. If it receives only 40 packets, the percentage of
beacons received would be 80%.
Range: 0 to 100%
The client adapter's ability to communicate with the access point,
which is determined by the combined result of the adapter's
signal strength and signal quality.
Value: Not Associated, Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent
