Signal Strength

2 weeks ago

Tags: #Network Connectivity

Model: Deco X50

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.5.5

I have a network of 3 X50 devices.The main unit is in my office next to the router

I have a ring doorbell which is on the wall outside about 3 feet from the main X50 albeit the other side of the wall. My doorbell shows a signal strength of RSSI -65 which I am led to believe is quite low. On the Deco app for that device it shows signal as strong. One of these must be wrong so how do i tell which is?

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

I think "-65dbm" is a quite good wireless signal level. Distance as well as the wireless interference over the same WiFi band will affect the final wireless signal strength.

You can read more details here: https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/understanding-rssi/

On the different applications, they might use different RSSI levels and there are 3 levels(Strong/Medium/Fair) of Signal Strengths on the Deco APP:

Strong：>-50dbm

Medium：-50dbm~-70dbm

Fair: <-70dbm

Best regards.

Will RSSI levels expressed as numbers ever be included in the app for the deco units AND connected devices? It would be incredibly useful!
