)
Note:
For Wireless Signal Strength LEDs:
¾ In AP or Bridge mode, all the four LEDs will light up.
¾ In Client or Repeater mode, the corresponding LED(s) will light up when the RSSI value
(wireless signal strength value) reaches the RSSI Threshold. The value of RSSI Threshold
can be set on Wireless Advanced Settings page as shown in Figure 4-26.
For example
, if the RSSI value is 30, the RSSI Threshold of the four LED are 15, 25, 35, 45
respectively, and then the LEDs whose RSSI Threshold are 15 and 25 will light up.
