Each type of connection will display a different icon to the right of the node name, and this indicates the type of link (for example, the small radio signal icon in the screenshot above indicates an RF link). If a node is reachable from your node, you can click the node name to navigate to that node. Not all the columns for link quality statistics will be populated for *Neighborhood Nodes*.
