What is the minimum signal strength to get connected?
Typically, we try to provide you with a signal strength of at least 40% or more to make sure that your internet experience is the best possible. We have seen browsing at strengths as low as 30%, however. Keep in mind that different cards or drivers may report different strengths at the same location. Use your signal meter only as a rough guide for troubleshooting.
Use your signal meter only as a rough guide for troubleshooting. The signal you see reported is only the signal being received. Realize that your adapter must be sending signal strong enough to reach the Access Point in order to make a connection. There is no absolute in these numbers and different adapters use different systems. Some use a scale of 0 – 100% where others use a ‘poor’ ‘good’ ‘very good’ and ‘excellent’ rating scale.
