Interpreting Link Quality (LQI)

The link quality metric for nodes is “LQI” (Link Quality Index), with a raw data range from 0 to 255. In the lower tabular pane of the Pan Sheet view, link quality is represented both graphically and in LQI:

Link Icon Color LQI
4 bars green 130 and above
3 bars yellow 71 - 130
2 bars orange 61 - 70
1 bar red 1 - 60
0 bars none 0

NoteThe recommended minimum LQI for a solid network link is 70.
