Notes: Look at the RSSI only on an associated client Some older chipsets used RSSI from 0 to 256, or 0 to 127. A higher difference of signal to noise indicates better signal. To get a meaniful measurement of a good quality signal, you would have to subtract the noise on the line from that signal power level and consider the difference. As a general example, a good signal would be -50, a reasonable would be -75, and a bad one would be -90, while -100 would provide no service at all.

For example, RSSI of -65 is better than -85. The closer the figure is to zero, the better. It is often expressed in decibels (db), or as percentage values between 1-100, and can be either a negative, or a positive value. RSSI is the relative signal strength in a wireless environment and can be measured in any unit of power. It is a measure of the power level that a RF client device is receiving from an access point, for example. For my environment, these RSSI values are very good because my home has aluminum siding, metal door, stone front facade.RSSI (Recieved Signal Strength Indicator) is a common name for the signal strength in a wireless network environment. May not be similar in your environments but I get -34 at the DBPro and -64 at the Floodlight. I likewise set both devices as static DHCP assignments and hardcore their IP addresses to ensure they didn't need to renegotiate ip addressing with each disconnect.Īdditionally, since I'm supporting both DBPro and Floodlight, I only use 2.4GHz and configured Fastlane over 5GHz back to the main router. Using a WiFi analyser app such as the Netgear analyser, to determine the least congested channel and then hardcoding the EX7300 to that channel has solved the constant disconnects in my environment! This possible channel change made my Ring devices fail to reconnect repeatedly. Ring seems to store the setup wifi channel in it's config (observation, not technical fact), where the default Nighthawk setup auto selects the best channel.

I use the smaller EX7300, but found that the default Netgear config was too smart/advanced for my Ring devices.
