Understanding Received Signal Strength
Received signal strength (RSSI) is measured from connected wireless client devices to
the DDW365. 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
