The importance of Wi-Fi signal
Performance for Wi-Fi-enabled devices like smart phones, tablets and computers can be greatly improved with a strong Wi-Fi signal. You should pay careful attention to the number of bars displayed on your Wi-Fi device according to the guidelines provided below. To improve the Wi-Fi signal please refer to our article on ideal modem location.
1. Excellent (> -50 dBm)
2. Good (-50 to -60 dBm)
3. Fair (-60 to -70 dBm)
4. Weak (< -70 dBm)
- A minimum of -67dBm is the National Standard to provide to a wireless device in order to experience proper product functionality.
- Signals operating with a signal weaker than -67dBm may still work up to -85dBm, but manufacturers cannot guarantee proper functionality with that signal. Slow speeds and network timeouts are common for any device not within specifications.
Wi-Fi obstacles
When placing your Internet modem, consider the impact of these physical barriers that could impact your Wi-Fi signal strength.
