What is an RSSI?

RSSI, or “Received Signal Strength Indicator,” is a measurement of how well your device can hear a signal. In other words, RSSI is a value for determining a good wireless connection.

While also a measure of signal strength, dBm is unlike RSSI as it is an absolute number representing power levels in milliwatts. 

RSSI is only a relative index of power.
