Testing The Wireless Signal Strength - First Data FD100 Quick Setup Manual

Testing the wireless signal strength

Because environmental factors can impact the quality of wireless
signals, you may want to test the strength of the signal that is
reaching the terminal. You may improve your wireless signal
strength by placing the Wi-Fi access point nearest to the terminal
with the highest -db number (= weakest signal strength) and, as
much as possible, avoiding obstructions such as walls, ceilings,
appliances and fixtures.
To test the strength of the signal reaching your terminal, follow
these steps.
1. On the initial screen, touch
the option sYsTem if it is
displayed; otherwise press
the "0" key.
3. Touch 3. Touch WiFi
note: Signal strength "-xxdB"
appears on the first line
following the Wi-Fi 'mode/
connection status' ("DHCP
Connect" in this example).
Anything within the range of
-70db to -20db indicates a
strong signal strength.
