7.3 Link Quality

The link quality and/or signal strength is poor.
Scan for and connect to another AP with a better link quality using the Site
1
Survey screen.
Move your computer closer to the AP or the peer computer(s) within the
2
transmission range.
There may be too much radio interference (for example from a microwave oven,
3
or another AP using the same channel) around your wireless network. Lower the
output power of each AP.
Make sure there are not too many wireless stations connected to a wireless
4
network.
