When creating a wireless profile in the Summit Client Utility, and there are multiple access points with the same name, which one is the best to choose?

 

Choose the one with the smallest negative number in the RSSI column. For example, -52 is stronger than -78.

 

 

 

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.
