WiFi signal strength?

The average home should be looking to fall within the -60 dBm to -50 dBm range. The minimum strength that you will want to maintain is  -67 dBm, which will still allow you to enjoy most online activities with a reliable connection.

If your signal falls outside of the -67 dBm to -30dBm range, however, you’ll want to start exploring options for boosting your WiFi signal strength.

The following is a list of tools that can help you determine the strength and range of your WiFi Network.
