Graph your WiFi signal strength RSSI (dBm) on a Nokia 5110 PCD8544 LCD module.
Signal strength (RSSI) is the usable strength of the radio waves, expressed in decibels (db) between 0db (strongest) and -120db (weakest). The closer it is to zero, the stronger/cleaner the signal is. For WiFi, the normal range is -45db to -87db. Anything below -85db is generally unusable, and over -50db can be considered perfect.
| RSSI | Quality |
|---|---|
| > -50db | Fantastic |
| ~= -50db | Great |
| ~= -75db | Average |
| ~= -85db | Poor |
| ~= -95db | Unusable |
