| Possible Values | Numeric value from zero with an upper limit per the capability of the gateway in question. |
WiFi RSSI Strength
| Description | RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is a common name for the signal strength in a wireless network environment. It is a measure of the power level that a RF client device is receiving from an access point expressed in decibel-milliwatts. If more than one RF client (LAN device) is present on the network, a value is given for each LAN device in a comma delimited list. |
| Possible Values | The value of 0 will be shown when unsupported by the LAN device. See below for more about interpreting the ranges of signal strength your reports will contain. |
Available in Device Manager v10.0 and later.
| Signal Strength | Quality | Description | Required For |
|---|---|---|---|
| -30 dBm | Amazing | Max achievable signal strength. The client can only be a few feet from the AP to achieve this. Not typical or desirable in the real world. | n/a |
| -67 dBm | Very Good | Minimum signal strength for applications that require very reliable, timely delivery of data packets. | VoiP/VoWiFi, streaming video |
| -70 dBm | Okay | Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery. | Email, Web |
| -80 dBm | Poor | Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery is often unreliable. | n/a |
| -90 dBm | Unusable | Approaching or drowning in the RF noise floor. WiFi devices are likely not functioning in this range. | n/a |
Available in Device Manager v10.x.x.x and later
