Understanding Received Signal Strength

Received signal strength (RSSI) is measured from connected wireless client
devices to the UBC1329AA00. This value can significantly impact wireless
speeds/performance. It is determined by:
• Materials (for example, open air, concrete, trees)
• Distance between wireless clients and the wireless cable modem
• Wireless capabilities of the client devices
