Receiver Sensitivity
Receiver sensitivity means how sensitive is the radio for receiving signal. In general; the slower the
transmission speed, the more sensitive the radio is. The unit for Receiver Sensitivity is in dB; the
lower the absolute value is, the higher the signal strength. For example, -50dB is higher than -80dB.
RJ-45
Standard connectors for Twisted Pair copper cable used in Ethernet networks. Although they look
similar to standard RJ-11 telephone connectors, RJ-45 connectors can have up to eight wires,
whereas telephone connectors have only four.
Router
An IP sharing router is a device that allows multiple PCs to share one single broadband connection
using NAT technology. A wireless router is a device that combines the functions of wireless Access
Point and the IP sharing router.
RSSI
Receiver Sensitivity Index. RSSI is a value to show the Receiver Sensitivity of the remote wireless
device. In general, remote APs with stronger signal will display higher RSSI values. For RSSI value,
the smaller the absolute value is, the stronger the signal. For example, “-50db” has stronger signal
than “-80dB”. For outdoor connection, signal stronger than -60dB is considered as a good
connection.
RTS
Request To Send. A packet sent when a computer has data to transmit. The computer will wait for a
CTS (Clear To Send) message before sending data.
