Glossary
Signal strength 2.4 GHz
The power of the transmitter installed in the equipment when operating in the 2.4 GHz band (see "Frequency Band").
This parameter directly affects the overall power and, accordingly, the communication efficiency. For more on this, see p. "Transmitter power" above, but here we separately emphasize that high power is not always required, and in some cases it is frankly harmful.

Signal strength 5 GHz
