As for wireless network quality, below is a standard table regarding recommended signal strength for wireless networks.  We recommend a wireless signal strength of at least -67dBm.

Signal Strength

Expected Quality

-30 dBm

Maximum signal strength, you are probably standing right next to the access point

-50 dBm

Anything down to this level can be considered excellent signal strength

-60 dBm

Good, reliable signal strength

-67 dBm

Reliable signal strength. The minimum for any service depending on a reliable connection and signal strength, such as voice over Wi-Fi and non-HD video streaming.

-70 dBm

Not a strong signal. Light browsing and email.

-80 dBm

Unreliable signal strength, will not suffice for most services. Connecting to the network.

-90 dBm

The chances of even connecting are very low at this level.

 

All devices should be on the same SSID, and when devices may be using multiple Access Points, these Access Points should be placed in “Bridge Mode” to eliminate devices dropping network connection when switching from one Access Point to another.
