More Information
 
The following is an excerpt from the Summit Client Utility Knowledge Center: 
 
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) refers to the strength of a transmitted signal as measured by a receiving device and typically is expressed as a negative number of decibels (dB). As a received signal weakens, the RSSI value decreases (becomes a larger negative number); as the received signal strengthens, the RSSI value increases. Typical Wi-Fi RSSI values in real-world environments range from a high of -50 dBm to a low of -95 dBm.
