The signal quality for all received packets. The higher the value
and the more green the bar graph is, the clearer the signal.
The histogram below the bar graph provides a visual
interpretation of the current signal quality. Differences in signal
quality are indicated by the following colors: green (highest
quality), yellow (average), and red (lowest quality).
Range: 0 to 100%
Note
The level of background radio frequency energy in the 2.4-GHz
band. The lower the value and the more green the bar graph is, the
less background noise present.
The histogram below the bar graph provides a visual
interpretation of the current level of background noise.
Differences in background noise level are indicated by the
