What is a "Rssi Chart"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.

What is RSSI and how is It measured?

Since RSSI varies greatly between chipset manufacturers, MetaGeek software uses a more standardized, absolute measure of signal strength: received signal power, which is measured in decibels, or dBm on a logarithmic scale. There’s a lot of math we could get into, but basically, the closer to 0 dBm, the better the signal is .

What is the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)?

Everyone’s wifi router is different, this is why it is important to know the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of your device. To learn more about what RSSI means check out this article in the Ring Help Center. The RSSI reported in your app will help you know how strong the wifi signal connection is to your device.

What factors influence RSSI?

The closer the RSSI value is to zero, the received signal is stronger. Apart from the output power of the transmitter, the following factors mainly influence the RSSI: SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), often written as S/N, is the ratio of the received signal power to the noise floor. SNR is commonly used to determine the quality of the received signal.

What is a good RSSI for LTE?

A cellular router or cellular amplifier may show an RSSI of -70dBm, which would be a strong connection. RSRP is short for Reference Signal Received Power, used when measuring 4G LTE networks. A cellular phone or another LTE-equipped device would display signal strength in RSRP, measured 0dBm (best signal) to -110dBm (weakest/no signal).
