[Wi-Fi] What is "Signal" measured with?
Model : WR841N
Hardware Version : WR841N v12 00000000
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 160624 Rel.44986n
ISP : Not relevant
Control panel: menu Wireless -> Wireless Settings, with WDS Bridging enabled, click on Survey to show other APs in another page.
This is what i see:
Ok, so station 1 has a Signal of 80 dB... What is "Signal"?
Signal strength? Nope, signal strength is a negative quantity and is expressed in dBm.
SNR? Nope, SNR of 80 dB is too high to be true.
Signal quality (in percentage)? Likely, but then why using the dB measurement unit?
It would be a lot better if the following quantities were shown in the first place, to avoid confusion:
Strength, noise, SNR, quality%
I hope you might shed some light on this issue, thanks in advance.
