The RF Quality Index field displays the following:
The Association field displays the following:
The Traffic Utilization field displays statistics on the traffic generated and received by this wireless
client. This area displays the traffic index, which measures how efficiently the traffic medium is used. It
is defined as the percentage of current throughput relative to the maximum possible throughput.
Traffic indices are:
• 0–20 —very low utilization
• 20–40 — low utilization
• 40–60 — moderate utilization
• 60 and above — high utilization
Encryption Displays if encryption is applied.
Captive Portal
Authentication
Displays whether captive portal authentication is enabled.
RF Quality Index Displays information on the RF quality for the selected wireless client. The RF
quality index is the overall effectiveness of the RF environment as a
percentage of the connect rate in both directions, as well as the retry and
error rate. RF quality index can be interpreted as:
• 0–20 — very poor quality
• 20–40 —poor quality
• 40–60 —average quality
• 60–100 — good quality
Retry Rate Displays the average number of retries per packet. A high number indicates
possible network or hardware problems.
SNR Displays the signal to noise ratio of the wireless client associated with the
Access Point.
Signal Displays the power of the radio signals in dBm.
Noise Displays the disturbing influences on the signal by interference of signals in
dBm.
Error Rate Displays the number of received bit rates that have been altered due to noise,
interference, and distortion. It’s a unitless performance measure.
AP Displays the name of the AP the wireless client is associated with. Click on
the AP to view more information on the associated AP.
Radio Number Displays the radio number on the AP to which this wireless client is
associated.
Radio Type Displays the radio type. The radio can be 802.11b, 802.11bg, 802.11bgn,
802.11a or 802.11an.
