periods of time for ping responses from the device and
the number of packets sent, received, and lost during the
ping test.
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
This test provides visibility into the connected APs
Network coverage and your connection range. When
connected to a network, the test results graph will
indicate when you roam to a different AP.
A graph of the connection range for the last 120 seconds.

Rate: The data transfer rate.

the Signal to Noise Ratio. You can change the thresholds
for the colors in the bar graph. See page 13.
