@magus that is good for you but how does that answer his question?

It tells him that if you get an EERO mesh network it can make the RSSI better.

The lower the better, but as long as youre under -60, you should be good

Mine is at -52 , tried adding a WiFi extender, and does nothing to improve it. Do you really need the chime pro?

@hennessy351 that's a good question. Cams, doorbell responding quickly, across all devices with or without the chime pro. I'm ranging -14 to -48 and don't lose my connections - thinking I should just remove the chime pro.

It's a healthy number, anything above -60 is considered solid, below -60 may be an issue, potentially unstable.

Isn't it a measure of resistance? The lower number the better?

@senile I'm not too technical but was told this is a measure of signal strength - a Google search returned this definition - RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. It is an estimated measure of power level that a RF client device is receiving from an access point or router. At larger distances, the signal gets weaker and the wireless data rates get slower, leading to a lower overall data throughput. So an RSSI of -35 is better than an RSSI of let's say -67.

I purchased a google mesh router and all connectivity issues were resolved.
