I was looking into getting a amplifier/repeater to boost the signal in my house and that is where I learned about that trick. Here is a little about what they had to say.
What is RSSI?
Besides the signal bars you're likely familiar with, there is a more accurate way to see how strong your signal is.
RSSI (
Received Signal Strength Indicator) numbers provide a better idea of what your signal strength is. The closer the number is to zero, the better your signal strength is; for example, -65 dBm is a much better signal than -95 dBm, which is better than -100 dBm, etc.
A good target RSSI indoors is -80 dBm - at that point, it is highly likely you are getting the best possible performance that the tower you are connected to can provide.
