Once the access points are physically mounted in place, look at the RSSI readings on each radio and adjust the transmit power settings on each side of the link up or down to get the RSSI to within the -48 dBm to -65 dBm range The best practice is to pre-configure the radios with a transmit power of 15 dBm and validate that a link is properly established (which serves to validate security and MAC address settings as well).For point-to-(multi)point applications, the optimal RSSI on each end of the wireless link is between -48 dBm and -65 dBm to achieve the highest possible data rates.

Signal is measured by the receive signal strength indicator (RSSI), which in most cases indicates how well a particular radio can hear the remote connected client radios. It is an estimated measure of power level that a RF client device is receiving from an access point or router.Īt larger distances, the signal gets weaker and the wireless data rates get slower, leading to a lower overall data throughput. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator.
