Connection range: The connection range shows the
probability of the best possible connection to the access
point from your location. The best possible connection
gives a ping response rate of 100% and the maximum
possible data rate. The connection range value
decreases as you move farther away from the access
point. First, the data rate decreases. As you continue to
move away from the access point, the ping response
rate decreases and the connection becomes unreliable.
The tester uses this formula to calculate the connection
range:
