![]() ![]() ![]() For my environment, these RSSI values are very good because my home has aluminum siding, metal door, stone front facade. RSSI is short for Received Signal Strength Indicator and is a measure of cellular signal strength. RSSI -67dBm: this is a fairly strong signal. ![]() May not be similar in your environments but I get -34 at the DBPro and -64 at the Floodlight. Description RSSI < -90 dBm: this signal is extremely weak, at the edge of what a receiver can receive. The further away the device is from the Wi-Fi hotspot, the lower the value of RSSI. Even though one of these APs was directly over my front door, my Ring was still registering a measly RSSI of 67. I have a mesh network with four access points in my century-old, plaster ceiling and wall house. I likewise set both devices as static DHCP assignments and hardcore their IP addresses to ensure they didn't need to renegotiate ip addressing with each disconnect.Īdditionally, since I'm supporting both DBPro and Floodlight, I only use 2.4GHz and configured Fastlane over 5GHz back to the main router. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. Heres a trick not everyone will know for improving Rings WIFI reception. Using a WiFi analyser app such as the Netgear analyser, to determine the least congested channel and then hardcoding the EX7300 to that channel has solved the constant disconnects in my environment! This possible channel change made my Ring devices fail to reconnect repeatedly. Ring seems to store the setup wifi channel in it's config (observation, not technical fact), where the default Nighthawk setup auto selects the best channel. ![]() the antennas are embedded within the device and the customer has no access to them. In laptops and Wi-Fi devices like Sonos speakers, Ring, etc. How to improve RSSI To improve signal levels, reduce the number of obstructions and the distance between the Wi-Fi router and any client devices. I use the smaller EX7300, but found that the default Netgear config was too smart/advanced for my Ring devices. Floors and walls also attenuate the signal level. ![]()
