Does signal strength affect aircard bandwidth?

1 votes

My boss has aircard service I think through verizon. It offers 188Kbps I believe. However, where he's trying to use it, he has one bar. Will this affect the bandwidth?

@Daisetsu These are two different questions. They happen to have arisen from one problem. - on May 19, 2010

Yes. The lower the signal strength, the more dropped packets there will be. These packets need to be resent, lowering the effective throughput.
