Figure 5-20 Symbol Status – Signal
A real time graph of the signal strength
The missed beacons graph displays the amount of beacons broadcast by the access
point missed by the receiver. Missed beacons are represented by a green indicator.
If the indicator is red, the association with the access point could be jeopardized by
the amount of missed beacons. It may be better to associate with a different access
point.
The transmit retries graph represents the number of data packets retransmitted by the
radio. Fewer retries indicate a better signal and this condition is represented by a
green indicator. If the indicator is red, associating with a different access point may
reduce the number of retries and improve the signal.
