Click this button to display the real-time statistics of the data rate in kilobits per second (Kbps). The status bar shows the strength of the signal. The signal strength is mainly depending on the antenna output power and the distance between your AG-320 and the AP or peer computer. 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. 4.2.1 Trend Chart Click Trend Chart in the Link Info screen to display a screen as shown below.
