Receive Signal Strength: The Signal bar displays the signal strength for the last
packet received by the adapter. Signal strength is reported in decibels (dB). The
color-coded chart below the Signal bar indicates the relative strength of the sig-
nal: a signal in the red or orange section indicates a weak connection; a signal in
the yellow or light green section indicates a good connection; a signal in the
darker green section indicates an excellent connection.
Instantaneous Packets/Sec Received: This statistic displays the current rate at
which the adapter is receiving packets from another 802.11a device. This infor-
mation is represented as the number of packets received per second and is plot-
ted on the graph located below the Packets/sec field. Note that this statistic will
remain zero unless the adapter is receiving data from another device.
Average Packets/Sec Received:
This statistic displays the average number of
packets received by the adapter each second since the utility was launched.
