I use wireless on a FreeBSD 6.1 box in an area of low signal to my
Access Point.
I want to be able to inspect the signal strength/quality so that I may
adjust the antenna to get best results. What is the best diagnostic to use?
For instance:
wicontrol wi0
produces:
...
Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 28 47 1 ]
dBm Coms Quality: [ 14 -85 -99 ]
...
but what is "good" or which numbers should I be seeking maximise or
minimise?
