CCQ (Client Connection Quality) is a metric used in wireless networks to measure the quality of the connection between the client (such as a laptop, smartphone, or any wireless device) and the access point or base station.

This value is especially relevant in MikroTik network environments and other wireless network configurations, where a high-quality connection is crucial to overall network performance.

The CCQ value is expressed in percentage (%) and reflects the efficiency of data transmission between devices.

A CCQ of 100% indicates a perfect connection, where almost all data packets are transmitted and received correctly without errors. The higher the percentage, the better the quality of the connection.

CCQ Essential Values:

• CCQ 90% – 100%: Indicates excellent connection quality. It is the goal in most wireless network environments, ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission.
• CCQ 70% – 89%: It is considered good, but there is room for improvement. In this range, users may experience a slight degradation in network performance, especially in high-bandwidth applications or video streaming.
• CCQ 50% – 69%: It is considered a fair connection quality. Users may face notable performance issues, including slow transfer speeds and increased latency.
• CCQ below 50%: Indicates poor connection quality. At this level, the network is generally unstable, and the user experience can be significantly poor, with frequent disconnections, very slow transfer speeds, and high latency.

To improve the CCQ and therefore the quality of the wireless connection, several measures can be taken, such as adjusting the location of wireless devices to avoid interference, changing transmission channels to find a less congested one, updating the firmware of the network devices, and optimize network settings.

It is important to regularly monitor the CCQ value in a wireless network as it provides valuable information about the health and performance of the connection, allowing network administrators to take corrective action to improve service quality.
