RSSI — The detected signal strength of the wireless client by the access point. Strong signal strength results in more reliable connections and higher speeds.

Signal strength is represented in -dBm format (-100 to 0). This is the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt. The closer the value is to 0 dBm, the stronger the signal. For example, -40 dBm is better signal strength than -60 dBm.

The supported wireless modes listed for the client are based on the wireless mode of the client’s current connection to the access point. For example, if the wireless mode of the access point radio is configured for 802.11ax, the client will show supported wireless modes for 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and 802.11n. If the wireless mode of the radio is configured for 802.11ac, the connected client will show supported wireless modes for 802.11ac and 802.11n.
