Noise can be due to other wireless devices such as cordless phones, microwave devices etc. Noise is any signal that interferes with your signal. The Signal is also affected by the APs transmit power & antenna as well as the client's antenna. Normal range in a network would be -45dBm to -87dBm depending on power levels and design. Typically voice networks require a -65dBm or better signal level while a data network needs -80dBm or better. The closer this value to 0 (zero), stronger the signal. It is the strength that one device is hearing another device. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is a more common name for the Signal value. Let's look at the components of the SNR and then understand how SNR is determined. SNR is measured as a positive value between 0dB and 120dB and the closer the value is to 120dB, the better. In simple words, SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is a ratio based value that evaluates your signal based on the noise being seen. It is the ratio of signal power to the noise power corrupting the signal. The power level of the RF signal relative to the power level of the noise floor is known as the Signal-to-Noise ratio or SNR. SNR, RSSI, EIRP and Free Space Path Loss Signal to Noise Ratio EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power).
