5.6.2 Check signal quality
IMPORTANT
Recommended signal strength
The signal strength in WaveNet should be at least -85 dBm or higher. If the
signal strength is insufficient, the connection between the devices may be
slow or interrupted.

If the signal strength is poorer than -85 dBm, then improve the signal
quality (see
Improving signal quality [
}
143]
).
Unit of signal strength
The WaveNet Manager displays the signal strength as an RSSI value
(Received Signal Strength) in dBm. This value is:

Logarithmic: In practice, an improvement of 10 dBm means twice the
signal strength.

Negative: The theoretical best value is 0 dBm and is only achieved by
cable connections. The closer the value is to 0 dBm (i.e. the smaller the
amount), the better the reception.
