Metro Broadband
Gateway SSID
The SSID identifies the remote Access Point (AP). Make sure to specify the SSID
of the Metro Broadband Gateway or your existing wireless router, or the SSID as
defined by the Metro ISP provider. Once you obtain the SSID from the Metro ISP
provider or you know the name of your home wireless router, this is the value you
must enter as the Metro Broadband Gateway SSID. You can use up to 32
alphanumeric characters. The SSID is
case sensitive.

Air Quality Indicator
The Air Quality indicator icon shows the current state of your wireless connection. Air Quality is measured
by the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value, which is a measurement of the wireless signal
strength. A high RSSI value usually means that the wireless connection is stable, and quality data
transmission can be achieved.
The Air Quality Indicator examines the environment that surrounds a Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway,
and determines the amount of interference in the environment. The Radio Frequency (RF) side of a wireless
device is a combination of a receiver and a transmitter. Both receiver and transmitter provide feedback as
they operate. The Air Quality indicator bases its evaluation on the Received Signal Strength Indication
(RSSI) that is returned as part of the 802.11 transmission acknowledgement.
