Radio Strenght and % of bad packets

SPP · Apr 30, 2016

Hi Guys,

This information mentioned that the percentage shown next to WIreless Telemetry signal strength is % of bad packets.

I am seeing my logs at 98% most of the time.

I dont think the bad packet % would be that high, correct ?

Thanks

It doesn't take much to drop a packet -- if there are any bit errors in the packet it will get dropped. When we send video over WiFi in our lab at work, I see all kinds of packet drop and the router is < 15 meters away.

I'm confused about the number -- is it number of packets dropped or packets getting through?
