What is a good signal strength?
I frequently have problems establishing a link to the network/IP/server with
my NetGear MP101 music player.
It says the signal strength is 22db.
Is this good, bad or indifferent?


TIA

Slatts

Hi
Al most all of the Wireless Radios are built from few OEM units, they “pump” 37mW into a
2dbi Antenna. So from the point of view of Hardware there is No real difference in the
Emitting Signal between most of Entry Level Wireless.

The differences are in the envioroment. I.e., the Location of the Antenna, the amount of
Obstructions, and the Noise.

Therefore what counts is the Signal to Noise Ratio at a given receiving point.
