   The RF Statistics screen provides the following information:

   Radio	Displays the name assigned to each listed radio. Each radio name displays as a link that can be selected to display radio information in greater detail.
   Signal	Displays the power of each listed radio signals in dBm.
   SNR	Displays the signal to noise ratio of each listed radio. SNR is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. A ratio higher than 1:1 indicates more signal than noise.
   Tx Physical Layer Rate	Displays the data transmit rate for each managed radio's physical layer. The rate is displayed in Mbps.
   Rx Physical Layer Rate	Displays the data receive rate for each managed radio's physical layer. The rate is displayed in Mbps.
   Avg Retry Rate	Displays the average number of retries for each radio.
   Error Rate	Displays the average number of retries per packet. A high number indicates possible network or hardware problems requiring administration to improve performance.
   Quality Index	Displays the client's RF quality. The RF quality index is the overall effectiveness of the RF environment, as a percentage of the connect rate in both directions as well as the retry rate and the error rate. RF quality index value can be interpreted as: 0 – 20 — very poor quality 20 – 40 — poor quality 40 – 60 — average quality 60 – 100 — good quality
