Wireless Terminology

The following terminology is used:
• Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This
indicates the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router
being received by the scanning device (i.e.,
smart phone). So the higher the RSSI number (or
less negative in some devices), the stronger the
signal.
• Internet Protocol Address (IP address). This is
an address assigned by your home router for
each network device (e.g., computer, printer,
thermostat).

devices that could possibility interfere with wireless
communications. Some examples of other devices
