The Tx Packets and Rx Packets display the instantaneous wireless Receive and
Transmit throughput displayed in bytes per second. These values are updated
every two seconds.
Signal Strength
The Signal Strength sliding bar displays the quality of the link between the node
and its Access Point. This bar is active only when the node is in Infrastructure
Mode. The label under the sliding bar summarizes the quality of the link. The
values can be:
No Traffic

The driver will start looking for a better Access Point if the Link Quality becomes
